Expert Coding Services Offered by Our Neonatal Billing Services  

Physicians should use Newborn Care Service codes for evaluation and management of healthy newborns during their first days of life before they leave the hospital. Some common codes for this care include: 

• 99460: Initial daily hospital or infant delivery center care for E/M of a normal newborn. 
• 99461: Initial daily E/M care for a normal newborn seen outside hospital or baby delivery center. 
• 99463: Same-day admittance and discharge E/M care for a normal newborn in a hospital or delivery center. 

Codes 99478–99480 cover intensive care for infants with low or very low birth weight, based on the infant’s current body weight as follows: 

• 99478 – Body weight below 1,500 grams 
• 99479 – Body weight ranging between 1,500 – 2,500 grams 
• 99480 – Body weight of 2,501 – 5,000 grams
