ICD-10-CM P04.0
CMSSource: CMS FY 2027 ICD-10-CM dataset · Effective Oct 1, 2026 – Sep 30, 2027

P04.0 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for newborn affected by maternal anesthesia and analgesia in pregnancy, labor and delivery. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 794. Coders also document this condition as early neonatal disorder caused by maternal analgesia transmitted via placenta during labor. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Newborn affected by maternal conditions or complications of labor/delivery.

For Medicare Advantage risk adjustment, P04.0 maps to CMS-HCC Category 137 (Drug Use Disorder, Moderate/Severe, or Drug Use with Non-Psychotic Complications) under the V28 model, adding a risk factor of about 0.424 for a community, non-dual, aged beneficiary in payment year 2027.

Questions About P04.0Overview

Is P04.0 a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report newborn affected by maternal anesthesia and analgesia in pregnancy, labor and delivery on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does P04.0 group to?

When newborn affected by maternal anesthesia and analgesia in pregnancy, labor and delivery is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 794 (neonate with Other Significant Problems), which carries a relative weight of 1.4934. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

What is coded first with P04.0?

The Code First note at P04, which applies to P04.0, reads: any current condition in newborn, if applicable. When one of these applies, it is sequenced before P04.0.

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of P04.0?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, newborn affected by maternal anesthesia and analgesia in pregnancy, labor and delivery converts to ICD-9-CM 763.5 (mat anesth/analg aff NB). The mapping is a direct match.

What HCC is P04.0?

P04.0 (newborn affected by maternal anesthesia and analgesia in pregnancy, labor and delivery) maps to CMS-HCC Category 137 (Drug Use Disorder, Moderate/Severe, or Drug Use with Non-Psychotic Complications), commonly written as HCC 137, in the CMS-HCC V28 model used for Medicare Advantage risk adjustment in payment year 2027. It does not map to any RxHCC in the Part D prescription drug model.

Does P04.0 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?

Yes. When documented and reported on a Medicare Advantage encounter, P04.0 adds a risk adjustment factor of about 0.424 to the beneficiary's RAF score for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee (published V28 weights range from 0.297 to 0.502 depending on the payment segment). A more severe related category (HCC 135 and HCC 136) supersedes it when both are reported. See the full factor table on the HCC 137 category page.
