Hi-

I actually have 2 questions:

What age is considered newborn?

And my report states premature infant, increased head circumference?
How would I code that?

This is for a 4month.

Any input would be great:o
 
A baby is considered newborn till they are 28 days old.

For the prematurity information you would go to the 765.1x and you also have to code to the weeks of gestation 765.2x and looking around some the best code I could find to fit the head circumference is 783.9 which I found under increase, abnormal in developement.

Hope this helps! :D
