These car seat tests can be done prior to discharge of babies great than 28 days old if they were born before 37 weeks gestation and/or are less than 2500grams. You may have to appeal with the guidelines for the car seat testing from AAP or other sources, but we had gotten paid by insurance if not in the beginning, with appeal. Now that the 2019 description has changed it is better. These codes are bundled with intensive or critical care codes, but payable with the hospital care codes (99221-99223 and 99231-99233) and the discharge codes (99238-99239). The car seat test must be reviewed by attending and a separate note must be documented if it is billed with the discharge code. If the information regarding the car seat is included in the discharge note that that would be considered part of the discharge time.

The codes 94780/81 are for neonates can only be used for billing for in-patients less than 28 days old.

The code states neonates, but the description further states that these car seat /bed tests are done for babies less than 37 weeks so you can use them even if the baby is inpatient until 3 months or more. They are also done if the baby has respiratory or cardiac issues so they can be reimbursed for that too if baby is say 38 weeks. You can appeal with the detailed code description on find a code or the CPT guidelines..

Feeder seats: Feeder seats are soft foam seats with positioning straps that are used for feeding, resting, and other situations. They are portable, and can be placed directly on the floor, in an adult's lap, or into a stroller.
The Versa form chair is a customizable, semi-permanent positioning support that is molded to the shape of the body. Density and firmness are controlled by applying vacuum to the chair. Aetna's traditional plans consider Versa form chairs medically necessary DME for children with postural instability who, because of a physical deformity, need a chair with postural support that conforms to the shape of their body. Note :
Carrie seats are much like feeder seats, but have a rear strap, which allows them to be placed on a regular chair. They also come with a headrest and adjustable footrest. Aetna's traditional plans consider Carrie seats medically necessary DME for children, who, because of postural instability or weakness, need a chair with shoulder harnesses and shoulder straps to maintain their position while seated. Note :
Aetna's traditional plans consider auto tilt chairs medically necessary DME for members with impaired ability to raise or lower self due to physical handicap, disease, or injury. Desk tilt chairs, which tilt backwards (not forwards), are considered non-covered personal convenience items. Note :
Total hip chairs and other therapeutic chairs with elevated seats enable members to sit without having to lower their body to the normal level of a regular chair. Aetna traditional plans consider these chairs medically necessary DME for members with any of the following conditions:
Aetna does not cover chairs, seats, and benches that are not mainly used to perform these essential daily activities, and/or which are normally of use to persons who do not have a disease or injury because they do not meet Aetna's contractual definition of covered DME. Footnotes for DME.
Aetna HMO plans (HMO, QPOS, Health Network Only, Health Network Option, and Medicare Advantage) do not cover the specialized therapeutic chairs, seats, and benches listed below regardless of whether or not the HMO member has a durable medical equipment (DME) benefit. Aetna's HMO plans follow Medicare's coverage rules for these kinds of DME and Medicare does not cover these chairs as they are considered personal convenience items.
