Questions About P83.88Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for other specified conditions of integument specific to newborn?
The ICD-10-CM code for other specified conditions of integument specific to newborn is P83.88 (sometimes written as P8388). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is P83.88 (Other specified conditions of integument specific to newborn) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other specified conditions of integument specific to newborn on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does P83.88 group to?
When other specified conditions of integument specific to newborn is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 795 (normal Newborn), which carries a relative weight of 0.2022. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is P83.88 exempt from POA reporting?
Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for other specified conditions of integument specific to newborn on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Conditions involving the integument and temperature regulation of newborn (P80-P83) range of the CMS exempt list.
Can P83.88 be reported with a code from P56?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at P83, which applies to P83.88, 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).
