Newborn hospital billing
The hospital where I delivered my baby billed my newborn for a daily revenue code of 0172 (special care nursery) even though my child received no specialized monitoring or treatment. Everything I’ve read it should have been billed as 0171 (well newborn nursery). I have tried reaching out to hospital but have been stonewalled and only been told “it’s right” without any supporting documentation. I’m curious what other new moms got billed for their healthy newborns who required no feeding tubes, jaundice treatment, NICU care, etc. Thanks in advance!
