Brain Diseases

Your brain is the control center of your body. It controls your thoughts, memory, speech, and movement. It regulates the function of many organs. It's part of your nervous system, which also includes your spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The nervous system sends signals between your brain and the rest of the body.

Questions About P52Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for intracranial nontraumatic hemorrhage of newborn?

P52 is the ICD-10-CM category for intracranial nontraumatic hemorrhage of newborn, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is P52 (Intracranial nontraumatic hemorrhage of newborn) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for intracranial nontraumatic hemorrhage of newborn, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for intracranial nontraumatic hemorrhage of newborn need a more specific code from this category, such as P52.0, P52.1, and P52.21.

Can P52 be reported with a code from P10?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on P52 lists "intracranial hemorrhage due to birth injury (P10.-)". 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).
