What This Code Means

P05.17 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for newborn small for gestational age, 1750-1999 grams. A newborn who is smaller than expected for their gestational age and weighs between 1750-1999 grams at birth.

P05.17 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.

Verify birth weight documentation falls within 1750-1999 grams to use this specific code.
