P80.0

P80.0 — Cold injury syndrome

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

P80.0 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for cold injury syndrome. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

mild hypothermia of newborn (P80.8)

Inclusion terms

Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

Severe and usually chronic hypothermia associated with a pink flushed appearance, edema and neurological and biochemical abnormalities.

Risk adjustment

P80.0 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 P80.0 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 P80.0.

Cold›injury syndrome(newborn)
Syndrome›cold injury(newborn)
Hypothermia›neonatal›severe(chronic) (cold injury syndrome)
Temperature›cold, trauma from›newborn
