Patient EducationClinical

Lung Diseases

When you breathe, your lungs take in oxygen from the air and deliver it to the bloodstream. The cells in your body need oxygen to work and grow. During a normal day, you breathe nearly 25,000 times. People with lung disease have difficulty breathing. Millions of people in the U.S. have lung disease.

Questions About P26Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for pulmonary hemorrhage originating in the perinatal period?

P26 is the ICD-10-CM category for pulmonary hemorrhage originating in the perinatal period, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is P26 (Pulmonary hemorrhage originating in the perinatal period) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for pulmonary hemorrhage originating in the perinatal period, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for pulmonary hemorrhage originating in the perinatal period need a more specific code from this category, such as P26.0, P26.1, and P26.8.

Can P26 be reported with R04.81?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on P26 lists "acute idiopathic hemorrhage in infants over 28 days old (R04.81)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
