Health examination for newborn 8 to 28 days old

This code signifies a routine health assessment performed on a newborn infant within the age range of 8 to 28 days old. This examination typically involves a comprehensive physical check-up to monitor growth, development, and overall well-being, as well as to address any parental concerns.

Use this code for a scheduled well-baby check-up for an infant who is between 8 and 28 days old. This would include the initial follow-up visit after hospital discharge, assuming the infant falls within this specific age window. Do not use this code for examinations prompted by specific illnesses or injuries.

• Ensure the patient's age at the time of the encounter falls precisely within the 8 to 28-day range.
• This code is for a preventive service; if the visit addresses a specific medical problem, a problem-oriented diagnosis code should also be reported.
• Do not use this code for the initial newborn exam performed immediately after birth in the hospital.
