P80.8 — Other hypothermia of newborn
P80.8 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for other hypothermia of newborn. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Mild hypothermia of newborn
Other codes that can never be billed with P80.8
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P80.8. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P80.8 alone.
- P80.0Cold injury syndrome
Risk adjustment
P80.8 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 P80.8 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 P80.8.
- Hypothermia›neonatal›environmental NEC(mild)
- Hypothermia›neonatal›mild
- Hypothermia›neonatal›specified NEC
