NB Hospitalization charge
So, I have a newborn who remained in the hospital because his mother had Sepsis and the hospital required the physician see the baby daily even though the baby was healthy. I don't know why the baby could not be discharged with Dad but our Dr. saw the baby daily & we have no valid diagnosis to bill for services rendered. Any suggestions.
re: NB Hospitalization charge
Subsequent hospital care for the normal newborn is reported once per day with code 99462. Discharge services provided on a date subsequent to admission may be reported with code 99238 or 99239.
