Hi there,
I am trying to figure out if 99468 Initial inpatient neonatal critical care is appropriate to bill for my provider, assuming all requirements are met for a critically ill infant in the NICU. What is throwing us off is that the provider was told that since he is a pediatrician that is not a hospitalist and comes in and out of the hospital, that he can't bill 99468. Is this true? He works at his own practice and will visit hospitals on the weekend.
Thank you so much!
