Wisconsin rates for HCPCS 99480

A doctor provides a day of ongoing hospital care and monitoring for a newborn who still needs close attention but is no longer critically ill. Which level of this daily care applies is set by what the baby weighs on the day of care rather than by the weight at birth, and this level covers the heaviest of those weight bands. It is charged for each day this level of care continues to be needed.
