Hello all!

A recent article was brought to my attention regarding billing for codes 99221-99233 for other than normal newborn care (also realizing this is in the CPT guidelines). I am wondering if I am able to bill for 99461 (subsequent normal newborn) with 99222 (initial encounter for hospital care)? Can the two code sets be mixed?

Thank you!
