P92 — Feeding problems of newborn
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
P92 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for feeding problems of newborn. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- eating disorders (F50.-)
Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
- feeding problems in child over 28 days old (R63.3-)
Other codes that can never be billed with P92
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P92. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P92 alone.
Risk adjustment
P92 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.
