Daily Critical Care For A Critically Ill Newborn, First Day

Wisconsin rates for HCPCS 99468

A physician or other qualified clinician provides the first day of intensive, ongoing hospital care for a critically ill newborn who is 28 days old or younger. Because the newborn's condition is unstable and needs close, continuous attention, this covers all connected care given that day rather than a single brief visit. Each following day of similarly intensive care is handled as its own separate service.
