Infant Car Seat Breathing Safety Test

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 94780

This is a monitored observation period, usually lasting up to an hour, in which a baby is placed in their car seat or a similar seated position while their heart rate, breathing, and oxygen levels are continuously recorded. It is done to check whether sitting in a car seat causes dips in oxygen, slow breathing, or a slowed heart rate, which can happen in some newborns, especially those born early. The results help decide whether it is safe for the baby to travel in a car seat or whether other arrangements are needed.
