I have a patient who is 28 days old and was diagnosed with Intestional malabsorption, diarrhea unspecified, and diaper dermatitis but insurance is denying because one of these diagnoses is not age related. I am thinking it is the intestional malabsorption and if this is what would you diagnose with?
 
You might consider P78.89 'Other specified perinatal digestive system disorders'...unless you can get further definition as to the type of malabsorption.
