Primary obstructive sleep apnea of newborn

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

What This Code Means

A newborn has repeated episodes where the airway becomes blocked during sleep, causing breathing to stop temporarily. This is a primary condition not caused by another underlying disease.

Coding Tips

  • •This code is specific to obstructive sleep apnea; do not use for central or mixed apnea
  • •Document whether this is primary (idiopathic) versus secondary to another condition
