2025 ICD-10-CM code P70.1

Syndrome of infant of a diabetic mother. Newborn (with hypoglycemia) affected by maternal (pre-existing) diabetes mellitus.

This code is specifically for use on the newborn's medical record and should not be used on the mother's record.It is important to distinguish between pre-existing diabetes and gestational diabetes when coding.

Medical necessity is established by the newborn's hypoglycemia directly resulting from the mother's pre-existing diabetes. The documentation must support the diagnosis and the need for treatment.

The physician is responsible for diagnosing and managing the newborn's hypoglycemia, which may involve monitoring blood glucose levels, providing intravenous glucose, and addressing any other related complications.

In simple words: This code describes a condition where a baby born to a mother with pre-existing diabetes has low blood sugar.
