P72 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for other transitory neonatal endocrine disorders, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as P72.0, P72.1, P72.2, and P72.8.

Specific Coding for Other transitory neonatal endocrine disordersOverview

Non-specific codes like P72 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • Use P72.0 for Neonatal goiter, not elsewhere classified

  • Use P72.1 for Transitory neonatal hyperthyroidism

  • Use P72.2 for Other transitory neonatal disorders of thyroid function, not elsewhere classified

  • Use P72.8 for Other specified transitory neonatal endocrine disorders

  • Use P72.9 for Transitory neonatal endocrine disorder, unspecified

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to P72: its own notes plus those printed at block P70-P74 and Chapter 16. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Includes

Further defines, or gives examples of, the content of the category.

From Block P70-P74 Transitory endocrine and metabolic disorders specific to newborn applies to 33 codes
  • transitory endocrine and metabolic disturbances caused by the infant's response to maternal endocrine and metabolic factors, or its adjustment to extrauterine environment
From Chapter 16 (P00-P96) Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period applies to 463 codes
  • conditions that have their origin in the fetal or perinatal period (before birth through the first 28 days after birth) even if morbidity occurs later

Excludes1

Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

  • congenital hypothyroidism with or without goiter (E03.0-E03.1)
  • dyshormogenetic goiter (E07.1)
  • dyshormonogenetic goiter (E07.1)
  • Pendred's syndrome (E07.1)

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

From Chapter 16 (P00-P96) Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period applies to 463 codes
  • congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
  • endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)

Excludes1 1

These codes carry an Excludes1 note naming P72: they are not reported together with it, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

  • Chapter 4 (E00-E89) Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases
    transitory endocrine and metabolic disorders specific to newborn (P70-P74) names P70-P74, which includes this code

Excludes2 1

These codes carry an Excludes2 note naming P72: its condition is not part of those codes, and both may be reported when the patient has both.

  • P00 Newborn affected by maternal conditions that may be unrelated to present pregnancy
    newborn affected by maternal endocrine and metabolic disorders (P70-P74) names P70-P74, which includes this code

Endocrine Diseases

Your endocrine system includes eight major glands throughout your body. These glands make hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers. They travel through your bloodstream to tissues or organs. Hormones work slowly and affect body processes from head to toe. These include:

Questions About P72Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other transitory neonatal endocrine disorders?

P72 is the ICD-10-CM category for other transitory neonatal endocrine disorders, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is P72 (Other transitory neonatal endocrine disorders) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other transitory neonatal endocrine disorders, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other transitory neonatal endocrine disorders need a more specific code from this category, such as P72.0, P72.1, and P72.2.

Can P72 be reported with E07.1?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on P72 lists "dyshormogenetic goiter (E07.1)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
