Family practice saw a newborn baby in the hospital - what modifiers do i use to get the following services paid?
99232 for second day? (baby was born day before and coded a 99222 for that date) then babys health got worse so is there something different for getting a really ill baby ready for transport to another facility.
He also did 31500 insertion of emergency airway and 32422 thoracentesis w/tube insertion. After these services baby was transported by life flight to a childrens hospital.
What codes are acceptable for critical care of a newborn for Family Practice?
Thanks
