Coding Newborn Attendance at Delivery and Resuscitation

Prepare for the unexpected when the patient is expecting. Oh, those cute little babies! All those fingers and toes and noses — when I grow up, I want to be one of those volunteers in nurseries who just sits and rocks babies all day. It sure beats this crazy coding world I’ve gotten myself into. […]

Normal Newborn Hospital/Inpatiant Hospital Coding

Hello all!

A recent article was brought to my attention regarding billing for codes 99221-99233 for other than normal newborn care (also realizing this is in the CPT guidelines). I am wondering if I am able to bill for 99461 (subsequent normal newborn) with 99222 (initial encounter for hospital care)? Can the two code sets be mixed?

Thank you!

99477 – Newborn Transfer of Care

Hello,

Is it appropriate to charge 99477 when a baby is born, admitted, and transferred to a different facility on the same day?

We are a CAH and deliver many babies but do not have a NICU, so we sometimes have to transfer newborns to a facility with a higher level of care. The provider does not document critical care time but does provide direct supervision over our nursing staff who closely observe and monitor the newborn until the transport team arrives.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Newborn NAS on mophine…considered critical care?

Good morning-

If a newborn (28 days) is being treated in the nicu for NAS (neonatal withdrawal syndrome) with morphine, and no other issues…should it still be coded as critical care? And if so, is there anywhere to find any confirmation (CMS website?) that it should be coded as such? Or, would it just be an intensive weight based code?

-Thanks all
