Is P10 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. P10 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does P10 sit in the tabular list?

Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P00-P96), in the block Birth trauma (P10-P15).

What cannot be coded together with P10?

P10 carries an Excludes1 note, which means the conditions it lists can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.

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

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P10. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P10 alone.

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

Risk adjustment

P10 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 P10

7 child codes. Green means billable.
