P09 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for abnormal findings on neonatal screening, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as P09.1, P09.2, P09.3, and P09.4. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Other specified and unspecified perinatal conditions.
