Transitory disorders of carbohydrate metabolism specific to newborn

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 7 more specific codes instead:

  • P70.0 Syndrome of infant of mother with gestational diabetes
  • P70.1 Syndrome of infant of a diabetic mother
  • P70.2 Neonatal diabetes mellitus
  • P70.3 Iatrogenic neonatal hypoglycemia
  • P70.4 Other neonatal hypoglycemia
  • P70.8 Other transitory disorders of carbohydrate metabolism of newborn
  • P70.9 Transitory disorder of carbohydrate metabolism of newborn, 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.
