2022 ICD-10-CM Code P05.9
Newborn affected by slow intrauterine growth, unspecified
Code Classification
P05.9 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of newborn affected by slow intrauterine growth, unspecified. The code P05.9 is valid during the fiscal year 2022 from October 01, 2021 through September 30, 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The ICD-10-CM code P05.9 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like intrauterine growth restriction, metaphyseal dysplasia, adrenal hypoplasia congenita, and genital anomaly syndrome, neonatal polycythemia or neonatal polycythemia due to intra-uterine growth retardation.
Unspecified diagnosis codes like P05.9 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.
