Newborn affected by complications of placenta, cord and membranes (P02) ICD-10-CM
The P02 code range covers newborn affected by complications of placenta, cord and membranes with 17 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 13 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Code First
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists, there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation.
- any current condition in newborn
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

About the P02 Code Range
These conditions affect a newborn through complications involving the placenta, umbilical cord, or membranes.
The placental codes distinguish placenta previa, placental separation with bleeding, abnormalities of placental form or function, and placental transfusion syndromes. P02.2 separates other placental abnormalities from unspecified ones.
The cord codes distinguish prolapse, compression, and other or unspecified conditions. The membrane codes distinguish conditions from chorioamnionitis, including fetal inflammatory response syndrome, from other or unspecified membrane abnormalities.
