THE HARD PARTS

What makes pediatric hospitalist billing hard

Observation or inpatient

A child’s status decides how each day is billed and what the family pays, and it can change during the stay.

Newborn nursery care

Normal newborn admission, daily care and discharge have their own services and must be billed under the baby’s coverage once it exists.

Families on every round

Parents take part in rounds and decisions, and their consent and concerns need to be documented.

WHERE THE WORK HAPPENS

How pediatric hospitalist care is delivered and billed

Pediatric hospitalists work on children’s wards, in community hospital pediatric units and in newborn nurseries. All work is billed on the professional claim with the hospital place of service, as admissions, daily visits, observation and discharge services.

What payers check on pediatric hospitalist claims

Hospital visit levels are chosen by decision making or time.
Observation and inpatient services are billed differently.
Normal newborn care has its own admission and daily services.
Discharge services longer than 30 minutes must document the time.
Newborns are billed under their own coverage once established.

Common pediatric hospitalist diagnoses ICD-10-CM

J21.0	Acute bronchiolitis due to respiratory syncytial virus
E86.0	Dehydration
J18.9	Pneumonia, unspecified organism
N10	Acute pyelonephritis
P59.9	Neonatal jaundice, unspecified
Z38.00	Single liveborn infant, delivered vaginally

Examples only. The provider chooses the code that matches the documented diagnosis, and XEHR checks it against the note and the payer's rules before the claim goes out.
