Mixed neonatal 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 experiences a combination of both central apnea (lack of breathing effort) and obstructive apnea (airway blockage) episodes during sleep.

Coding Tips

  • •Mixed neonatal apnea requires documentation of both central and obstructive components
  • •Ensure this code is used only when both types of apnea are clinically present and documented
