P70.4 — Other neonatal hypoglycemia
P70.4 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for other neonatal hypoglycemia. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Transitory neonatal hypoglycemia
Other codes that can never be billed with P70.4
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P70.4. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P70.4 alone.
Risk adjustment
P70.4 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
How P70.4 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to P70.4.
- Hypoglycemia›neonatal(transitory)
- Hypoglycemia›transitory neonatal
