P07.0 — Extremely low birth weight newborn
Is P07.0 billable?
No — P07.0 is a non-billable header code. P07.0 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 4 billable codes beneath P07.0.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with P07.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- low birth weight due to slow fetal growth and fetal malnutrition (P05.-)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to P07.0.
- Newborn birth weight 999 g. or less
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 16
The conditions below are not part of P07.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, P07.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
