P10: Intracranial laceration and hemorrhage due to birth injury

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

P10 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for intracranial laceration and hemorrhage due to birth injury. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1: never code together

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

  • intracranial hemorrhage of newborn NOS (P52.9)
  • intracranial hemorrhage of newborn due to anoxia or hypoxia (P52.-)
  • nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage of newborn (P52.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with P10

Their own Excludes1 notes name this code, so the conflict is not listed above.

  • P10.0Subdural hemorrhage due to birth injury
  • P52Intracranial nontraumatic hemorrhage of newborn
