- Billable — Valid for Submission
- MCC — Major Complication or Comorbidity
- Not Chronic
P60 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for disseminated intravascular coagulation of newborn. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 791, 793. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a major complication or comorbidity (MCC) and places an inpatient stay in the highest severity level of its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 28 closely related codes. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Hemorrhagic and hematologic disorders of newborn.

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 P60Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for disseminated intravascular coagulation of newborn?
The ICD-10-CM code for disseminated intravascular coagulation of newborn is P60. It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is P60 (Disseminated intravascular coagulation of newborn) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report disseminated intravascular coagulation of newborn on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does P60 group to?
When disseminated intravascular coagulation of newborn is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 793, 791, with relative weights from 4.1073 to 4.2192 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is P60 a CC or MCC?
CMS lists P60 as an MCC (major complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it places the inpatient stay in the highest-weighted DRG of its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 28 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
Can P60 be reported with Q44.3?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block P50-P61, which applies to P60, lists "congenital stenosis and stricture of bile ducts (Q44.3)". 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).
