P54 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for other neonatal hemorrhages, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as P54.0, P54.1, P54.2, and P54.3.

Specific Coding for Other neonatal hemorrhagesOverview

Non-specific codes like P54 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • Use P54.0 for Neonatal hematemesis

  • Use P54.1 for Neonatal melena

  • Use P54.2 for Neonatal rectal hemorrhage

  • Use P54.3 for Other neonatal gastrointestinal hemorrhage

  • Use P54.4 for Neonatal adrenal hemorrhage

  • Use P54.5 for Neonatal cutaneous hemorrhage

  • Use P54.6 for Neonatal vaginal hemorrhage

  • Use P54.8 for Other specified neonatal hemorrhages

  • Use P54.9 for Neonatal hemorrhage, unspecified

Instructional NotesGuidance

Excludes1

Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

On P54 itself
  • newborn affected by (intrauterine) blood loss (P50.-)
  • pulmonary hemorrhage originating in the perinatal period (P26.-)
From Block P50-P61 Hemorrhagic and hematological disorders of newborn applies to 67 codes

  • Gilbert syndrome (E80.4)
  • hereditary hemolytic anemias (D55-D58)

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

  • congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
  • endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)

Patient EducationClinical

Bleeding Disorders

Normally, if you get hurt, your body forms a blood clot to stop the bleeding. For blood to clot, your body needs cells called platelets and proteins known as clotting factors. If you have a bleeding disorder, you either do not have enough platelets or clotting factors or they don't work the way they should.

Questions About P54Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other neonatal hemorrhages?

P54 is the ICD-10-CM category for other neonatal hemorrhages, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is P54 (Other neonatal hemorrhages) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other neonatal hemorrhages, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other neonatal hemorrhages need a more specific code from this category, such as P54.0, P54.1, and P54.2.

Can P54 be reported with a code from P50?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on P54 lists "newborn affected by (intrauterine) blood loss (P50.-)". 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).
