P26 — Pulmonary hemorrhage originating in the perinatal period

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

P26 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for pulmonary hemorrhage originating in the perinatal period. 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.

acute idiopathic hemorrhage in infants over 28 days old (R04.81)

Other codes that can never be billed with P26

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P26. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P26 alone.

P54Other neonatal hemorrhages
R04.81Acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage in infants

Risk adjustment

P26 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 P26

4 child codes. Green means billable.
