Neonatal jaundice from other and unspecified causes

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 6 more specific codes instead:

  • P59.0 Neonatal jaundice associated with preterm delivery
  • P59.1 Inspissated bile syndrome
  • P59.2 Neonatal jaundice from other and unspecified hepatocellular damage (also a header)
  • P59.3 Neonatal jaundice from breast milk inhibitor
  • P59.8 Neonatal jaundice from other specified causes
  • P59.9 Neonatal jaundice, unspecified

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
