can you please help me with the correct diagnoses.
A premature baby was born on 24 completed weeks gestational age for 650 grams. The baby has no health issue and is already 4 weeks old now , baby weight is 850 grams. Since the baby is considered premature, the baby was put in the NICU.
What is the best primary diagnosis for this ? I wonder if I have to go with V21.32 or V20.32 or V20.2 then followed by 765.0 and 765.22 (as a contributing factors)
Please advise and thank you

Hi,

I just go with V21.32 as primary dx because V20.2 is for well check and all the other codes are for newborns under 28 days old.

:D
