Non-invasive ventilator correct coding

Can you provide clarification on the correct coding or CPT for non-invasive ventilator support? For example, a NICU baby is not intubated, however requires NIPPV with the following settings: Positive End Expiratory Pressure: 10, Ventilator Mode: Non-Invasive, Breath Type: PC (Pressure Control), and Ventilator Frequency, Mandatory: 30. Is it appropriate to code this as 94002 - 94003 for ventilator or is 94660 CPAP? Is 94002 - 94003 limited to invasive mechanical support via ETT or artificial airway?
