Transitory neonatal hypoparathyroidism

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

What This Code Means

A newborn temporarily has reduced parathyroid hormone function, leading to low calcium levels that typically resolve on its own within days to weeks.

Coding Tips

  • This is a transitory condition; document that it is expected to resolve without long-term treatment
  • Differentiate from permanent hypoparathyroidism by noting the temporary nature in the medical record
