What This Code Means

P05.11 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for newborn small for gestational age, less than 500 grams. A newborn baby who is smaller than expected for their gestational age, weighing less than 500 grams at birth. P05.11 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (p00-p96), within the section covering disorders of newborn related to length of gestation and fetal growth (p05-p08).

P05.11 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

This extremely low birth weight indicates a critically ill newborn requiring intensive neonatal care.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for P05.11 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
