    POST PARTUM OFFICE VISITS

    Whether the baby is ill or well the first office visit of a newborn, within 14 days of the date of birth, cannot exceed the "limited" evaluation rate if the physician has received payment for care of healthy newborn in hospital (HSC 03.05G) or inpatient care. Subsequent to the initial post-partum visit, a physician may charge under whatever HSCs are appropriate for the care provided.
