If the newborn jaundice is excessive, hospitals use “bili” lights. The ICD-10-PCS code for light treatment of the skin is 6A600ZZ Phototherapy of skin, single for a single treatment. Multiple treatments is coded 6A601ZZ Phototherapy of skin, multiple.
Blood testing done as a diagnostic test, however, meets the requirements for coding the jaundice. If the newborn jaundice is excessive, hospitals use “bili” lights. The ICD-10-PCS code for light treatment of the skin is 6A600ZZ Phototherapy of skin, single for a single treatment.
Methods: Term newborns with hyperbilirubinemia were prospectively randomized to receive double or single phototherapy. Bilirubin levels were measured at admission and at 12-hour intervals, as well as at a follow-up 48 hours after discharge. Results: Thirty-seven patients received single and 40 double phototherapy.
Hyperbilirubinemia in new born should be coded as newborn Jaundice (As per ICD-10 CM index listing). There are 4 categories of codes for newborn jaundice as per the cause – P55 (hemolytic disease), P57 (kernicterus), P58 (due to other hemolytic reasons) and P59 (Neonatal jaundice from other specified causes)
6A601ZZICD-10-PCS code 6A601ZZ for Phototherapy of Skin, Multiple is a medical classification as listed by CMS under Physiological Systems range.
ICD-10-PCS Code 6A800ZZ - Ultraviolet Light Therapy of Skin, Single - Codify by AAPC.
P59. 9 - Neonatal jaundice, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
Other disorders of bilirubin metabolism E80. 6 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E80. 6 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The tables are arranged in alphanumeric order, and organized into separate tables according to the first three characters of the seven-character code. The ICD-10-PCS Index contains entries based on the terms (known as values) used in the ICD-10- PCS Tables, as well as entries based on common procedure terms.
ICD10-PCS was under development for over five years. The initial draft was formally tested and evaluated by an independent contractor; the final version was released in the Spring of 1998, with annual updates since the final release. The design, development and testing of ICD-10-PCS are discussed.
Jaundice (JOHN-diss) is also called hyperbilirubinemia (HI-per-bil-ee-roo-bin-EE-mee-ah). It means that there is a high level of bilirubin (BIL-ee-rue-bin) in the blood. This is a yellow pigment that settles in body tissues and can make your baby's skin look yellow. Jaundice often happens in newborns.
P59. 0 - Neonatal jaundice associated with preterm delivery | ICD-10-CM.
Phototherapy units treat hyperbilirubinemia by irradiating the baby with light in the blue region of the spectrum from 420-500 nm (Neuman, 1988a). This light oxidizes the bilirubin in the blood, thus producing compounds that can be eliminated from the body.
Bilirubin is a yellowish substance in your blood. It forms after red blood cells break down, and it travels through your liver, gallbladder, and digestive tract before being excreted. The condition of having high bilirubin levels is called hyperbilirubinemia.
Infant jaundice is yellow discoloration of a newborn baby's skin and eyes. Infant jaundice occurs because the baby's blood contains an excess of bilirubin (bil-ih-ROO-bin), a yellow pigment of red blood cells.
CONSTITUTIONAL hyperbilirubinemia, or constitutional hepatic dysfunction, is a frequently unrecognized and misdiagnosed form of liver disease, first described in a series of articles by Gilbert and his associates1 2 3 4 5 6 in 1907 as "Cholémie simple familiale." Although this disease is often familial, sporadic cases ...

Neonatal jaundice from other and unspecified causes Yellow discoloration of the skin; mucous membrane; and sclera in the newborn. It is a sign of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
Infant jaundice is yellow discoloration of a newborn baby's skin and eyes. Infant jaundice occurs because the baby's blood contains an excess of bilirubin (bil-ih-ROO-bin), a yellow pigment of red blood cells.

Approximately 10 to 20 percent of newborn’s have an umbilical hernia. This is caused by a small opening in the abdominal muscles that abdominal contents (e.g., fluid, abdominal lining) spill through. These usually heal and resolve on their own. Otherwise, at 3 to 4 years of age, the hernia will be surgically repaired.
Eye issues due to immaturity or from the ointment applied to the newborn’s eyes
Some conditions happen more frequently in premature newborns such as cryptorchidism and umbilical hernias. Sometimes issues heal without interventions, such as minor hematomas from the birth process and laceration from the fetal monitoring electrode. And immature lacrimal glands mature, hydroceles close, and hip joint motion usually improves without need for intervention.
Cryptorchidism. This generally refers to an undescended or maldescended testis. The condition affects 3 percent of term male infants, and 1 percent of male infants at one year. Incidence is as high as 30 percent in premature male neonates.
Depending on the study, 2 to 10 percent of newborns have inconclusive results at discharge (e.g., there may be fluid in the middle ear; the newborn may be fussy; one ear might pass, but the other does not).
There is no CPT® code because these hospital screenings are usually done by hospital staff who are trained by an audiologist. Because it is a screening (not diagnostic), the test does not meet the definition of a “diagnostic procedure or therapeutic treatment” for a clinically significant condition.
Usually, the time spent teaching parents how to care for the newborn’s eyes until the lacrimal ducts mature is not significant . If time is not significant, and it does not impact medical decision-making, it does not meet the definition of an additional professional encounter diagnosis.

Note: Obstructive jaundice should be coded to obstruction of bile duct K83.1
This is more than the liver capacity. Causes of prehepatic jaundice are thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, autoimmune disease and transfusion
Common symptoms of jaundice are yellow skin and white of eyes, dark coloured body fluids ( urine and stool). If jaundice along with severe abdominal pain, blood vomit, blood in stool, change in mental function, fever or tendency to bleed easily are cause of concern.
Note: Hyperbilirubinemia in new born should be coded as jaundice new born as per ICD-10 CM manual index list.
