P72Other transitory neonatal endocrine disorders

P72 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other transitory neonatal endocrine disorders. 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: P72.0 (classified), P72.1 (hyperthyroidism), P72.2 (classified), P72.8 (disorders) and P72.9 (unspecified).

Don't report P72 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: congenital hypothyroidism with or without goiter (E03.0-E03.1), dyshormogenetic goiter (E07.1), dyshormonogenetic goiter (E07.1) and Pendred's syndrome (E07.1).

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