re: Newborn jaundice
774.__ is the code for Neonate Jaundice. There is a fourth digit required; choosing 4th digit would be dependent on doctors documentation.
I work Pediatrics and I normally use:
774.6 "Unspecified fetal and neonatal jaundice" and occasionally
774.2 "Neonatal jaundice associated with preterm delivery"
I hope this helps

I use 774.30 (newborn neonatal jaundice, formula fed) and
774.39 (newborn neonatal breast milk jaundice)
