About P08

P08 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for disorders of newborn related to long gestation and high birth weight. It belongs to block P05-P08 (disorders of newborn related to length of gestation and fetal growth) and chapter 16 (certain conditions originating in the perinatal period). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: P08.0 (baby), P08.1 (newborn) and P08.2 (age).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
