About P74
P74 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other transitory neonatal electrolyte and metabolic disturbances. 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 9 subcodes must be used instead.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: P74.0 (newborn), P74.1 (newborn), P74.2 (newborn), P74.3 (newborn), P74.4 (newborn), P74.5 (newborn), P74.6 (newborn), P74.8 (newborn) and 1 more.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
