About P70

P70 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for transitory disorders of carbohydrate metabolism specific to newborn. It belongs to block P70-P74 (transitory endocrine and metabolic disorders specific to newborn) 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 7 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: P70.0 (diabetes), P70.1 (mother), P70.2 (mellitus), P70.3 (hypoglycemia), P70.4 (hypoglycemia), P70.8 (newborn) and P70.9 (unspecified).

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