Official coding rules

Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.

Inherited from P07 Disorders of newborn related to short gestation and low birth weight, not elsewhere classified

Includes

the listed conditions, without further specification, as the cause of morbidity or additional care, in newborn

Note

When both birth weight and gestational age of the newborn are available, both should be coded with birth weight sequenced before gestational age
