Billable/Specific Code

Code on Newborn Record

P22.0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The 2023 edition of ICD-10-CM P22.0 became effective on October 1, 2022.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of P22.0 - other international versions of ICD-10 P22.0 may differ.

ICD-10-CM Coding Rules

P22.0 should be used on the newborn record - not on the maternal record.

Applicable To

Cardiorespiratory distress syndrome of newborn
Hyaline membrane disease
Idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome [IRDS or RDS] of newborn
Pulmonary hypoperfusion syndrome
Respiratory distress syndrome, type I

Type 2 Excludes

Type 2 Excludes Help

A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code (P22.0) and the excluded code together.

Clinical Information

A condition of the newborn marked by dyspnea with cyanosis, heralded by such prodromal signs as dilatation of the alae nasi, expiratory grunt, and retraction of the suprasternal notch or costal margins, most frequently occurring in premature infants, children of diabetic mothers, and infants delivered by cesarean section, and sometimes with no apparent predisposing cause.

A condition of the newborn marked by dyspnea with cyanosis, most frequently occurring in premature infants, children of diabetic mothers and infants delivered by cesarean section, and sometimes with no predisposing cause.
A respiratory distress syndrome in newborn infants, usually premature infants with insufficient pulmonary surfactants. The disease is characterized by the formation of a hyaline-like membrane lining the terminal respiratory airspaces (pulmonary alveoli) and subsequent collapse of the lung (pulmonary atelectasis).
