MCD patient 21 weeks goes to hospital having contractions. Baby comes out and lived for about two minutes. Being 21 weeks isn't considered a viable pregnancy, what do we bill? It's not a fetal demise since the baby was born alive.

:confused:

Thanks,
Denise
 
It is a delivery of a live born infant. You bill the preterm delivery cod with the V27 for the outcome. You will also have a chart for the baby. It was a live birth it is not a fetus it is a baby no matter how many weeks.
