What This Code Means

P07.37 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for preterm newborn, gestational age 34 completed weeks. A baby born before 37 weeks of pregnancy, specifically at 34 completed weeks of gestation. These late preterm infants are generally more stable but may still need respiratory support. P07.37 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).

P07.37 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.

Late preterm infants (34-36 weeks) may have fewer complications but still require monitoring.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for P07.37 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
