2021 ICD-10-CM Code P84
Other problems with newborn
Valid for Submission
P84 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other problems with newborn. The code P84 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The ICD-10-CM code P84 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like acidemia, acidosis, acute anoxic encephalopathy, acute respiratory acidosis, anoxia of brain , anoxia, in liveborn infant, etc.

Code Classification
Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code P84:
Inclusion Terms
Inclusion TermsThese terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
- Acidemia of newborn
- Acidosis of newborn
- Anoxia of newborn NOS
- Asphyxia of newborn NOS
- Hypercapnia of newborn
- Hypoxemia of newborn
- Hypoxia of newborn NOS
- Mixed metabolic and respiratory acidosis of newborn
Type 1 Excludes
Type 1 ExcludesA type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
Index to Diseases and Injuries
The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code(s). The following references for the code P84 are found in the index:
- - Acidosis (lactic) (respiratory) - E87.2
- - mixed metabolic and respiratory, newborn - P84
- - newborn - P84
- - Anoxia (pathological) - R09.02

Convert P84 to ICD-9 Code
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code P84 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
