Hi Linda
Do use dx Z41.2 as the first dx in such a newborn problem on claim. There must be a better reason if provider having problems with circumcision of a male newborn.Check out dx codes of P15.6 , P39.3, P74.1 or P83.5 scrotum vein dilemmas hopefully one of these issues is reason for complications. Other problems maybe help if apply ....newborns weight dx P05-P07 codes or dx P50 blood loss of newborn or dx P74 potassium not in balances. Dx N47.3 deficient foreskin or see dx block N48.
I hope helped you
