The ICD-10-CM code for neonatal jaundice due to other specified excessive hemolysis is P58.8 (sometimes written as P588). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Is P58.8 (Neonatal jaundice due to other excessive hemolysis) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report neonatal jaundice due to other specified excessive hemolysis on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

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).

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of P58.8?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, neonatal jaundice due to other specified excessive hemolysis converts to ICD-9-CM 774.0 (perinat jaund-hered anem) and 774.1 (perinat jaund:hemolysis). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
