Is P72 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. P72 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does P72 sit in the tabular list?

Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P00-P96), in the block Transitory endocrine and metabolic disorders specific to newborn (P70-P74).

What cannot be coded together with P72?

P72 carries an Excludes1 note, which means the conditions it lists can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.

P72 — Other transitory neonatal endocrine disorders

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

P72 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other transitory neonatal endocrine disorders. 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.

congenital hypothyroidism with or without goiter (E03.0-E03.1)
dyshormogenetic goiter (E07.1)
dyshormonogenetic goiter (E07.1)
Pendred's syndrome (E07.1)

Other codes that can never be billed with P72

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P72. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P72 alone.

E03.0Congenital hypothyroidism with diffuse goiter
E05Thyrotoxicosis [hyperthyroidism]
E07.1Dyshormogenetic goiter

Risk adjustment

P72 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.

Code to one of these instead P72

5 child codes. Green means billable.
