If you are a coder working in hospital 1 where this baby was born prematurely, you would only code the diagnoses at hospital 1. There are three codes:

765.18 (pre-term infant with birthweight 2,000-2,499 grams)

765.28 (35-36 completed weeks of gestation)

V30.00 (liveborn infant born in hospital, delivered without mention of cesarean delivery)
