Abnormal findings on neonatal screening (P09)
ICD-10 code range P09 covers abnormal results found during routine newborn screening tests that check for various serious health conditions early in life. These codes help identify specific metabolic, endocrine, blood, lung, heart, or hearing abnormalities detected soon after birth.
This group of codes is used to classify abnormal findings from neonatal screening programs designed to catch conditions such as inborn errors of metabolism (P09.1), congenital endocrine diseases (P09.2), and congenital hematologic disorders (P09.3). It also includes screening results for cystic fibrosis (P09.4), critical congenital heart disease (P09.5), and neonatal hearing loss (P09.6). When the abnormality does not fit into these specific categories, codes like P09.8 for other abnormal findings or P09.9 for unspecified abnormal neonatal screening results (sometimes called neonatal screening abnormal) are used. This set of codes ensures precise documentation of newborn screening outcomes and supports early diagnosis and intervention.

Instructional Notations
Includes
This 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
A 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
