P03.8 — Newborn affected by other specified complications of labor and delivery
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
P03.8 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for newborn affected by other specified complications of labor and delivery. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with P03.8
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P03.8. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P03.8 alone.
Risk adjustment
P03.8 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.
Code to one of these instead P03.8
