    ICD-10-CM Code For Disorders Of Newborn Related To Short Gestation And Low Birth Weight Not Elsewhere Classified: Group Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group P07 includes conditions in newborns related to short gestation and low birth weight, such as preterm birth effects and low birth weight not elsewhere classified. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document neonatal complications arising from prematurity and fetal growth restriction, capturing severity such as degree of prematurity and low birth weight categories. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM P07 group supports proper claim adjudication and complete clinical documentation for appropriate reimbursement.

    When to Use

    Use a code from this group when a newborn has complications attributable to prematurity or low birth weight and documentation specifies gestational age or birth weight category. Select the code that reflects the documented degree of prematurity or weight classification to accurately represent clinical complexity.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • A preterm infant is born at 28 weeks’ gestation after premature rupture of membranes and emergent cesarean for fetal distress. The neonate requires immediate stabilization in the NICU for respiratory support, thermal regulation, and feeding difficulties related to immaturity; a diagnosis from this group is assigned to capture extreme prematurity and its impact on birth weight and physiologic immaturity. Typical codes: P07.00, P07.02
    • A term infant with intrauterine growth restriction is delivered with a birth weight well below the 10th percentile despite normal gestational length; the newborn is admitted for evaluation of hypoglycemia and poor feeding. The low birth weight due to fetal growth restriction is documented as a disorder related to fetal growth and informs monitoring and management of metabolic and thermoregulatory problems. Typical codes: P07.10, P07.14
    • A late-preterm neonate (35 weeks) presents several days after delivery with prolonged hospitalization due to complications of low birth weight including jaundice requiring phototherapy and difficulty maintaining temperature. The ongoing issues are coded to reflect the newborn’s short gestation and low birth weight as comorbid conditions affecting care and resource use. Typical codes: P07.36, P07.38
