Questions About P92Overview

P92 is the ICD-10-CM category for feeding problems of newborn, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is P92 (Feeding problems of newborn) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for feeding problems of newborn, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for feeding problems of newborn need a more specific code from this category, such as P92.01, P92.09, and P92.1.
