Hope you can help clarify: If a physician sees a newborn for a "normal initial visit", 99460, on day one. Can the physician (same one) also bill the subsequent visit, sick newborn, as an initial inpatient hospital care visit for day 2, 99222? Normally, I would bill this as a subsequent visit, 99232. Need clarification!!!
If there were two seperate physician's seeing the same newborn. Physician 1 sees the patient as sick with frequent monitoring,99477. The next day physician 2 sees the patient as a "normal" newborn and bills 99460. Can they bill for two initials since they are seperate physicians?
Thanks,
PJ
