Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 99462 covers

This service covers a routine daily assessment and management of a newborn who remains in the hospital after the initial newborn-care day. A pediatrician, family physician, or other qualified practitioner may provide it while rounding in a well-baby nursery. The care can include assessing feeding, weight, elimination, jaundice, and general adaptation, and addressing routine concerns with the family and care team.

Select the code for a subsequent hospital day of routine newborn care, rather than the initial-care code or the code for a newborn admitted and discharged on the same date. The record should support the date of service, the newborn’s status and findings, and the assessment and management performed that day. CMS assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice relative values to this physician service; Medicare payment is determined through the applicable fee schedule and claim processing.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.
