I hope Dr. Burns didn't forget to check for a baby unicorn horn! That would be a whole different set of codes.

This is a tough one, but I'm going with A) 99463. The fact that it was the same day as the delivery makes me think this is the appropriate code.

D) 99462 sounds right to me. He did the newborn exam and screening, so this comprehensive code should cover it.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. It could be C) 99461 since he met with the family at the end of the exam. But I'm leaning towards B) 99460.
