When a Pediatrician is called for attendance at delivery and are reporting 99464, or 99465 and they use a Laryngoscope to aspirate meconium and/or to intubate newborns in the delivery room, what codes should they be using?
31500 is for Intubation however they are using a Laryngoscope to do this, and
they use the Scope to suction meconium as well.

Thank you for your help!
