About P92

P92 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for feeding problems of newborn. It belongs to block P90-P96 (other disorders originating in the perinatal period) 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: P92.0 (newborn), P92.1 (newborn), P92.2 (newborn), P92.3 (newborn), P92.4 (newborn), P92.5 (breast), P92.6 (newborn), P92.8 (newborn) and 1 more.

Don't report P92 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: eating disorders (F50.-).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of P92, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: feeding problems in child over 28 days old (R63.3-).

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