- ICD-10-CM Code:

- ICD-10 Code for:
- Neonatal encephalopathy, unspecified
- Is Billable?
- Yes - Valid for Submission
- Chronic Condition Indicator: [1]
- Not chronic
- Code Navigator:
P91.819 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of neonatal encephalopathy, unspecified. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.
Unspecified diagnosis codes like P91.819 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

gaia level 1 neonatal encephalopathy is defined by three criteria: first, a newborn infant (1-28 days of life) born at or beyond 35 weeks of gestation; second, an abnormal level of alertness or seizures; third, difficulty with initiating and maintaining respiration; fourth, depression of muscle tone.GAIA Level 2 Neonatal Encephalopathy|Global Alignment of Immunization safety Assessment in pregnancy Level 2 Neonatal Encephalopathy|Level 2 Neonatal Encephalopathy
gaia level 2 neonatal encephalopathy is defined by three criteria: first, a newborn infant (1 to 28 days of life) born at or beyond 35 weeks of gestation; second, an abnormal level of alertness or seizures; third, either difficulty with initiating and maintaining respiration or depression of muscle tone.GAIA Level 3 Neonatal Encephalopathy|Global Alignment of Immunization safety Assessment in pregnancy Level 3 Neonatal Encephalopathy|Level 3 Neonatal Encephalopathy
gaia level 3 neonatal encephalopathy is defined by three criteria: first, a newborn infant (1-28 days of life) born at or beyond 35 weeks of gestation; second, an abnormal level of alertness or seizures; third, none of the following: a) difficulty with initiating or maintaining respiration; b) depression of muscle tone.GAIA Neonatal Encephalopathy Level of Diagnostic Certainty Terminology|Global Alignment of Immunization safety Assessment in pregnancy Neonatal Encephalopathy Level of Diagnostic Certainty
a subset of terminology related to neonatal encephalopathy, developed by the global alignment of immunization safety assessment in pregnancy consortium to aid in monitoring and improving fetal and maternal outcomes.GAIA Neonatal Encephalopathy Level of Diagnostic Certainty|Global Alignment of Immunization safety Assessment in pregnancy Neonatal Encephalopathy Level of Diagnostic Certainty|Neonatal Encephalopathy Level of Diagnostic Certainty
a classification of maternal and fetal outcomes relating to neonatal encephalopathy, developed by the global alignment of immunization safety assessment in pregnancy, based on the extent to which the diagnosis has been confirmed.Neonatal Encephalopathy
abnormal functioning of the central nervous system in the newborn period that may be due to a variety of etiologies including hypoxia/ischemia, metabolic disturbance, or infection.Severe Neonatal Encephalopathy Due to MECP2 Mutations
an x-linked recessive condition caused by mutation(s) in the mecp2 gene, encoding methyl-cpg-binding protein 2. it is characterized by severe neonatal encephalopathy.Acute Motor and Sensory Axonal Neuropathy|Acute Motor And Sensory Axonal Neuropathy|Acute Motor-Sensory Axonal Neuropathy|Acute Motor-Sensory Axonal Neuropathy
a subtype of guillain-barre syndrome that targets sensory motor axons, and is characterized by acute onset of quadriparesis, distal sensory loss, areflexia, and respiratory insufficiency.Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy|AMAN
a subtype of guillain-barre syndrome that targets motor axons, and is characterized by symmetric limb weakness, diffuse areflexia, facial and oropharyngeal muscle weakness, and respiratory insufficiency.Axonal Neuropathy
any nerve disorder affecting the axon of a nerve.GAN wt Allele|GAN1|Giant Axonal Neuropathy (Gigaxonin) Gene|Gigaxonin wt Allele|KLHL16
human gan wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 16q24.1 and is approximately 65 kb in length. this allele, which encodes gigaxonin protein, is involved in both ubiquitination and neurofilament structure. mutation of the gene is associated with giant axonal neuropathy.Giant Axonal Neuropathy
a rare inherited disorder affecting the neurofilaments. it is caused by mutations in the gan gene. it is characterized by the presence of abnormally large nerve cell axons. signs and symptoms include difficulty walking, sensory disturbances, lack of motor coordination and abnormal reflexes in the limbs.Spinocerebellar Ataxia, Autosomal Recessive, with Axonal Neuropathy 2|AOA2|Ataxia with Oculomotor Apraxia Type 2|SCAN2
an autosomal recessive condition caused by mutation(s) in the setx gene, encoding probable helicase senataxin. it is characterized by juvenile onset progressive cerebellar ataxia, axonal sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy, and increased concentrations of serum alpha-fetoprotein. oculomotor apraxia is common, but is not always present.Coenzyme Q10 Deficiency
a genetically heterogeneous condition, typically inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion, characterized by coenzyme q10 deficiency.

Present on Admission (POA)
P91.819 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.
CMS POA Indicator Options and Definitions
POA Indicator | Reason for Code | CMS will pay the CC/MCC DRG? |
---|---|---|
Y | Diagnosis was present at time of inpatient admission. | YES |
N | Diagnosis was not present at time of inpatient admission. | NO |
U | Documentation insufficient to determine if the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. | NO |
W | Clinically undetermined - unable to clinically determine whether the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. | YES |
1 | Unreported/Not used - Exempt from POA reporting. | NO |
Replacement Code
P91819 replaces the following previously assigned ICD-10-CM code(s):
- P91.8 - Other specified disturbances of cerebral status of newborn
Convert P91.819 to ICD-9-CM
- ICD-9-CM Code: 779.1 - NB cereb irrit NEC/NOS
Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
