CPT ® made extensive changes to the newborn care section in 2009, and revised the editorial comments in 2013. When caring for newborns, use the set of CPT ® codes that reflect the baby’s condition.
These require a diagnosis that that supports care of a sick baby. For intensive care—but not critical care—see codes 99477—99490. These codes are for caring for a newborn “who is not critically ill but requires intensive observation, frequent interventions, and other intensive care services.”. [2]
The neonatologist who cares for the baby in the NICU will report neonatal critical care codes in the series 99468—99476 for care of the baby for a calendar day.
When attending to a newborn, use the newborn care codes for healthy neonates, 99460—99463. CPT ® uses the term normal newborn care. For a sick newborn, use initial and subsequent inpatient codes, 99221—99239. These require a diagnosis that that supports care of a sick baby.
The baby needed to be stabilized and transferred to a level III neonatal intensive-care unit. The pediatrician spent 90 minutes from the time the baby was born, and she began the assessment and interventions, until the baby left for the NICU in another hospital. was.
Critically ill neonates are billed with codes 99468—99476 by the neonatologist providing per day care. In the question above, the transferring physician uses critical care codes for the care provided before the transfer.
The transfer is between an acute care hospital and a unit within that same hospital that is exempt from the prospective payment system (PPS) “again, where there are no merged records.
If Medicare’s transfer criteria were not met and both services occurred on the same day, you would bill a combined subsequent visit code for both services. The answer would be the same if the patient was transferred from hospital “B.”.
Instead, “no merged records” means that the acute care record is considered closed and a new record has been initiated for that patient in the new unit, facility or hospital to which he or she has been transferred.And a quick reminder: PPS refers to a Medicare reimbursement method based on a predetermined, fixed amount.
Because the subsequent visit codes are “per day” codes, you cannot bill a subsequent visit code and an initial hospital care code on the same day. The exception for billing two codes on the same day is if the patient is transferred to a nursing home; in that case, if a physician in your group performed the discharge, you can bill both the hospital discharge and the nursing home admission. If the patient was not transferred to a nursing home or the transfer was to a facility that did not meet the transfer criteria, you’d be able to bill only a subsequent visit code (9923199233) for both services.
According to the Medicare manual, two doctors from the same group (or one doctor if he or she is the principal physician of record on both sites) can bill both the hospital discharge (99238-99239) and the admission to the nursing facility (99304-99306) on the same day. Before we take a look at some related questions, note that some of these questions raise the issue of billing consults.
If you are the principal physician of record and perform all the discharge elements, you should bill the discharge. That certainly yields a higher rate of reimbursement than a subsequent visit code. If you’re not the principal physician, however, a subsequent visit code is what you should bill.
Under certain circumstances, physicians transferring patients may bill both a hospital discharge code and an initial hospital care code. To do so, the first requirement is that two physicians in the same group (or even the same physician) must have performed the discharge and the elements of an initial hospital care code.
