Questions About P95Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for stillbirth?
The ICD-10-CM code for stillbirth is P95. It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is P95 (Stillbirth) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report stillbirth on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does P95 group to?
When stillbirth 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.
Can P95 be reported with O36.4?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on P95 lists "maternal care for intrauterine death (O36.4)". 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).
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of P95?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, stillbirth converts to ICD-9-CM 779.9 (perinatal condition NOS). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
