Typically, a normal newborn has no medical conditions or need for special care. The ICD-9 code ought to be only V30.xx. Generally speaking, if one needs to add another ICD-9 prior to the newborn being discharged, then this does not qualify as "normal" newborn. The CPT book guides you towards other E/M services for NOT normal newborns.
The CPT codes used for screening mammography:
Z53. 21 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z53. 21 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Other specified counselingICD-10 code Z71. 89 for Other specified counseling is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
However, coders should not code Z91. 81 as a primary diagnosis unless there is no other alternative, as this code is from the “Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Services,” similar to the V-code section from ICD-9.
Encounter for supervision of normal pregnancy, unspecified90 Encounter for supervision of normal pregnancy, unspecified, unspecified trimester.
The patient's primary diagnostic code is the most important. Assuming the patient's primary diagnostic code is Z76. 89, look in the list below to see which MDC's "Assignment of Diagnosis Codes" is first. That is the MDC that the patient will be grouped into.
0 - 17 years inclusiveZ00. 129 is applicable to pediatric patients aged 0 - 17 years inclusive.
You also may want to use additional codes as appropriate, such as Z79. 01 (Long term (current) use of anticoagulants) if the patient is taking anticoagulants, Z51. 81 (Encounter for therapeutic drug level monitoring) if the agency is monitoring PT/INRs, and Z95.
11 or Z51. 12 is the only diagnosis on the line, then the procedure or service will be denied because this diagnosis should be assigned as a secondary diagnosis. When the Primary, First-Listed, Principal or Only diagnosis code is a Sequela diagnosis code, then the claim line will be denied.
M62. 81 Muscle Weakness (generalized) Specify etiology of weakness, such as musculoskeletal disorder, stroke, brain injury, etc. R53. 1 Weakness Specify etiology of weakness, such as musculoskeletal disorder, stroke, brain injury, etc.
Encounter for supervision of other normal pregnancy80 Encounter for supervision of other normal pregnancy, unspecified trimester.

The following 2,372 ICD-10-CM codes are intended for maternity patients of age 12 - 55 years inclusive as each code is clinically and virtually impossible to be applicable to patients of any age outside of this range.
Laceration, perforation, tear or chemical damage of bowel following an ectopic and molar pregnancy. Laceration, perforation, tear or chemical damage of broad ligament following an ectopic and molar pregnancy. Laceration, perforation, tear or chemical damage of cervix following an ectopic and molar pregnancy.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM O09.521 became effective on October 1, 2021.
O09.521 is applicable to maternity patients aged 12 - 55 years inclusive. O09.521 is applicable to mothers in the first trimester of pregnancy, which is defined as less than 14 weeks since the first day of the last menstrual period. Trimesters are counted from the first day of the last menstrual period.
Chapter 16 of the ICD-10-CM codebook (“Certain Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period”) contains diagnoses to be used in the perinatal period, defined as before birth through the 28th day following birth. The codebook explains that these codes are only for newborn records, but we often see them on maternal claims.
BMI adult codes (Z68.1 through Z68.45) are used for persons 21 years of age or older:
Supervision of elderly primigravida, unspecified trimester 1 O09.519 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM O09.519 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of O09.519 - other international versions of ICD-10 O09.519 may differ.

The Pregnancy ICD 10 code belong to the Chapter 15 – Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium of the ICD-10-CM and these codes take sequencing priority over all the other chapter codes.
Complications following (induced) termination of pregnancy (Code range- O04.5 – O04.89) – This includes the complications followed by abortions that are induced intentionally.
The chapter 15- Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium codes can be used only to code the maternal records and never the newborn records.
Pre-existing hypertension complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (Code range- O10.011-O10.93) – A pregnancy complication arising due to the patient being hypertensive, having proteinuria (increased levels of protein in urine), hypertensive heart disease, hypertensive CKD or both prior to the pregnancy.
A high-risk pregnancy is a threat to the health and the life of the mother and the fetus.
Hydatidiform mole (Code range- O01.0 – O01.9) – Also known as molar pregnancy is an abnormal fertilized egg or a non-cancerous tumor of the placental tissue which mimics a normal pregnancy initially but later leads to vaginal bleeding along with severe nausea and vomiting.
Ectopic pregnancy (Code range- O00.00 – O00.91) – This is a potentially life-threatening condition in which the fertilize egg is implanted outside the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes or occasionally in the abdomen or ovaries.
