Hello,
Is the use of this code for newborns under 2 weeks old who are brought to the office setting before thier normally scheduled 2 week check up with thier pedicatrician?? I have to tell you I am a little confused by the definition of this code in the CPT coding book. Can the Pedicatrician use this code when seeing a new born under 14 days old at the office with a Hospital discharge or is this for when Mom gives birth at home or a birthing center and they bring the newborn into the office for a check up to make sure all is well??
Any help would be appreicated!!!! Thanks, Jenn![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
