P76.1 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for transitory ileus of newborn. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 794. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 19 closely related codes. Coders also document this condition as neonatal obstruction of intestine. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Neonatal digestive and feeding disorders.

Is P76.1 (Other intestinal obstruction of newborn) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report transitory ileus of newborn on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does P76.1 group to?
When transitory ileus of newborn is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 794 (neonate with Other Significant Problems), which carries a relative weight of 1.4934. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is P76.1 a CC or MCC?
CMS lists P76.1 as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 19 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
Can P76.1 be reported with Q43.1?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on P76.1 lists "Hirschsprung's disease (Q43.1)". 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).
