Uncommon Infant and Newborn Problems

It can be scary when your baby is sick, especially when it is not an everyday problem like a cold or a fever. You may not know whether the problem is serious or how to treat it. If you have concerns about your baby's health, call your health care provider right away.

Questions About P61Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other perinatal hematological disorders?

P61 is the ICD-10-CM category for other perinatal hematological disorders, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is P61 (Other perinatal hematological disorders) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other perinatal hematological disorders, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other perinatal hematological disorders need a more specific code from this category, such as P61.0, P61.1, and P61.2.

Can P61 be reported with D80.7?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on P61 lists "transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy (D80.7)". 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).
