Questions About P83Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other conditions of integument specific to newborn?

P83 is the ICD-10-CM category for other conditions of integument specific to newborn, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is P83 (Other conditions of integument specific to newborn) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other conditions of integument specific to newborn, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other conditions of integument specific to newborn need a more specific code from this category, such as P83.0, P83.1, and P83.2.

Can P83 be reported with a code from P56?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on P83 lists "hydrops fetalis due to hemolytic disease (P56.-)". 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).
