I have a patient that was born prematurely and was coming in for weight checks to monitor growth. The physician is still using the P07.10 code even though the patient is gaining weight because they are still below normal. The patient is now 3 months old and we are getting denied for inappropriate age. The guidelines say that the code can be used in a child or an adult as long as the condition is affecting the patient's health status.
Is this the appropriate code to use or does any one have any guidance on this situation?
