Slow feeding of newborn

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

What This Code Means

A newborn takes an unusually long time to complete feedings or feeds very slowly, which may affect nutrition and growth.

Coding Tips

  • •Document the duration of feedings and any associated factors (prematurity, weakness, coordination issues)
  • •This code is distinct from underfeeding (P92.3) and should reflect the pace of feeding rather than inadequate intake
