- P09
- ICD-10 Code for:
- Abnormal findings on neonatal screening
- Is Billable?
- Not Valid for Submission
- Chronic Condition Indicator: [1]
- Not chronic
- Code Navigator:
P09 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of abnormal findings on neonatal screening. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.
Specific Coding Applicable to Abnormal findings on neonatal screening
Non-specific codes like P09 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for abnormal findings on neonatal screening:
Use P09.1 for Abnormal findings on neonatal screening for inborn errors of metabolism - BILLABLE CODE
Use P09.2 for Abnormal findings on neonatal screening for congenital endocrine disease - BILLABLE CODE
Use P09.3 for Abnormal findings on neonatal screening for congenital hematologic disorders - BILLABLE CODE
Use P09.4 for Abnormal findings on neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis - BILLABLE CODE
Use P09.5 for Abnormal findings on neonatal screening for critical congenital heart disease - BILLABLE CODE
Use P09.6 for Abnormal findings on neonatal screening for neonatal hearing loss - BILLABLE CODE
Use P09.8 for Other abnormal findings on neonatal screening - BILLABLE CODE
Use P09.9 for Abnormal findings on neonatal screening, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE
Clinical Classification
Clinical Category is Other specified and unspecified perinatal conditions
- CCSR Category Code: PNL013

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.
Includes
IncludesThis note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
- Abnormal findings on state mandated newborn screens
- Failed newborn screening
Type 2 Excludes
Type 2 ExcludesA type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
- nonspecific serologic evidence of human immunodeficiency virus HIV R75
Convert P09 to ICD-9-CM
- ICD-9-CM Code: 796.6 - Abnorm neonate screening
Patient Education
Newborn Screening
Your newborn infant has screening tests before leaving the hospital. There may be different tests depending on the state where you live. They include:
- Tests on a few drops of blood from pricking the baby's heel. The tests look for inherited disorders. All states test for at least 30 of these conditions.
- A hearing test that measures the baby's response to sound
- A skin test that measures the level of oxygen in the blood. This can tell if the baby has a congenital heart defect.
These tests look for serious medical conditions. If not treated, some of these conditions can cause lifelong health problems. Others can cause early death. With early diagnosis, treatment can begin right away, before serious problems can occur or become permanent.
If a screening shows that your baby might have a condition, the health care provider or the state health department will call you. It is important to follow up quickly. Further testing can verify whether your baby has the condition. If so, treatment should start right away.

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.
