When the newborn jaundice requires additional resources, the correct diagnosis is usually found under P58 Neonatal jaundice due to other excessive hemolysis or P59 Neonatal jaundice from other and unspecified causes codes. Mothers typically are counseled on newborn jaundice signs and when to bring the newborn in.
Approximately 10 to 20 percent of newborn’s have an umbilical hernia. This is caused by a small opening in the abdominal muscles that abdominal contents (e.g., fluid, abdominal lining) spill through. These usually heal and resolve on their own. Otherwise, at 3 to 4 years of age, the hernia will be surgically repaired.
There is no CPT® code because these hospital screenings are usually done by hospital staff who are trained by an audiologist. Because it is a screening (not diagnostic), the test does not meet the definition of a “diagnostic procedure or therapeutic treatment” for a clinically significant condition.
Lacrimal ducts are the drainage system for fluid that lubricates the eye. With time, the lacrimal ducts mature and the membrane covering the nasolacrimal ducts open. Until the lacrimal ducts drain spontaneously, the pediatrician can show the parents a massage technique to use between the bridge of the nose and the inside corner of the affected eye.#N#Immaturity is not congenital absence, agenesis, stenosis, stricture, or malformation. Because this is a normal condition, there is no code for it. Do not report Q10.3 – Q10.6 or any of the H04 Disorders of lacrimal system for immaturity of the lacrimal ducts. Inpatient coders do not code immature lacrimal ducts because the condition does not use additional resources. Usually, the time spent teaching parents how to care for the newborn’s eyes until the lacrimal ducts mature is not significant. If time is not significant, and it does not impact medical decision-making, it does not meet the definition of an additional professional encounter diagnosis.
Fractured Clavicle. Sometimes, a newborn’s clavicle is fractured during a vaginal delivery. Fractured clavicles are usually noted by the pediatrician on the newborn evaluation, but do not meet the definition of clinical significance.
Stigma ( plural stigmata) is a finding that may indicate an abnormal condition, such as a sacral dimple without a visible floor being stigma for occult spina bifida. Sacral dimples without diagnostic services, such as diagnostic imaging, are not coded on inpatient records. There is a new code for sacral dimples, Q82.6 Congenital sacral dimple, which can be coded in the professional encounter if they affect care, such as when an ultrasound is ordered and there is no finding of occult spina bifida.#N#Malpresentations are almost always noted on the inpatient record. But unless the breech presentation or other malpresentation caused a significant finding for the newborn, do not code it on the inpatient hospital record.#N#Numerous skin findings may be noted, but are not coded in the inpatient record unless they are clinically significant. When the pediatrician spends additional time explaining the skin condition, and the findings affect the episode of care, it should be coded on professional encounters.#N#An example is hemangiomas (e.g., strawberry hemangiomas), which do not impinge on vital structures and are not located in the periorbital area, lip, neck, or sacral region. More commonly seen in the documentation are:
During an initial newborn evaluation, watchful waiting conditions are findings that usually resolve without medical intervention in a few weeks to a few years. Some watchful waiting issues require continued outpatient evaluation until resolution. Let’s review which conditions should be reported and when.
