Questions About P93Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for reactions and intoxications due to drugs administered to newborn?

P93 is the ICD-10-CM category for reactions and intoxications due to drugs administered to newborn, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is P93 a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for reactions and intoxications due to drugs administered to newborn, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for reactions and intoxications due to drugs administered to newborn need a more specific code from this category, such as P93.0 and P93.8.

Can P93 be reported with a code from P58.4?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on P93 lists "jaundice due to drugs or toxins transmitted from mother or given to newborn (P58.4-)". 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).
