Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P00–P96)
Chapter 16 of the ICD-10-CM covers medical codes for conditions that originate around the time of birth, including issues diagnosed before, during, or shortly after delivery. These codes help identify complications or health problems in newborns during the critical perinatal period.
This chapter focuses on a wide range of conditions affecting newborns, from those caused by maternal factors, birth injuries, infections, to respiratory and metabolic disorders seen shortly after birth. Examples include complications due to premature birth, difficulties during labor and delivery, and neonatal infections. These codes are essential for tracking and managing newborn health issues that begin in the first weeks of life, ensuring healthcare providers can accurately document and treat these conditions early on. For medical coders and professionals, understanding the scope of P00 to P96 helps in classifying newborn diagnoses related specifically to the perinatal period rather than general infant illnesses.
