About P08.2

P08.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for late newborn, not heavy for gestational age. It belongs to category P08 (disorders of newborn related to long gestation and high birth weight), 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within P08 (disorders of newborn related to long gestation and high birth weight), P08.2 is specifically for late newborn, not heavy for gestational age. Related codes cover Exceptionally large newborn baby (P08.0) and other heavy for gestational age newborn (P08.1).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: P08.21 (newborn) and P08.22 (newborn).

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