Identify at least three differences between the three subcategories of the following category of E/M service: Inpatient neonatal intensive care services and pediatric and neonatal critical care services. How are these three subcategories distinguished and why are they all listed as one category?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers should include (but may not be limited to) the following:
? Identify the differences between
? Pediatric critical care patient transport
? Neonatal intensive care and
? Initial and continuing intensive care services
? The essential differences between each of these three subcategories identify the setting, critical nature of the presenting problem, as well as the status of the patient's health at the time of the E/M service visit.
? All three are listed under one category because the clinical needs of a neonatal or pediatric patient are different from the clinical needs of an adult patient. Rationale supporting this statement is appropriate, using physiologic, pathologic, and anatomic data from the textbook (and/or anatomy/physiology texts).
