P00.6

P00.6 — Newborn affected by surgical procedure on mother

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CMPOA exempt

P00.6 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for newborn affected by surgical procedure on mother. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

Cesarean delivery for present delivery (P03.4)
damage to placenta from amniocentesis, Cesarean delivery or surgical induction (P02.1)
previous surgery to uterus or pelvic organs (P03.89)

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

newborn affected by complication of (fetal) intrauterine procedure (P96.5)

Inclusion terms

Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

Newborn affected by amniocentesis

Risk adjustment

P00.6 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

How P00.6 is indexed

Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to P00.6.

Newborn›affected by›amniocentesis(while in utero)
Newborn›affected by›maternal›surgical procedure
