Metabolic acidemia in newborn first noted before onset of labor

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A condition where a newborn's blood becomes too acidic due to metabolic problems, detected before labor begins.

Coding Tips

  • •This code requires documentation of the timing (before labor onset) to distinguish it from P19.1 and P19.2
  • •Metabolic acidemia is often associated with intrauterine hypoxia; review the clinical context for related conditions
