P07.20 — Extreme immaturity of newborn, unspecified weeks of gestation
Is P07.20 billable?

Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting P07.20 — the more specific alternatives are listed below.
