Other neonatal hemorrhages (P54) ICD-10-CM
The P54 code range covers other neonatal hemorrhages with 10 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 9 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 1 Excludes
A 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.

About the P54 Code Range
These codes describe bleeding in newborns, including bleeding in the digestive tract, adrenal gland, skin, or vagina.
P54 separates digestive tract bleeding into vomiting blood (P54.0), melena or dark, bloody stool (P54.1), rectal bleeding (P54.2), and other digestive tract bleeding (P54.3). Other subdivisions identify bleeding in the adrenal gland (P54.4), skin (P54.5), or vagina (P54.6). The remaining codes distinguish other specified bleeding (P54.8) from unspecified bleeding (P54.9).
