Hello,
We recently submitted a claim to Medicaid with cpt code 99461 and 99462 for the initial and subsequent hospital care for normal newborn with dx code V20.31 which is health supervision for newborn under 8 days old. The claims were denied because the dx is incompatible with the cpt codes. I contacted our Medicaid area office but they were not much help. I thought of using V20.2 but that includes a child over 28 days old. Can anyone help me with a good dx that can be used for an infant?
Thanks
