P29

P29 — Cardiovascular disorders originating in the perinatal period

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

P29 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for cardiovascular disorders originating in the perinatal period. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

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.

congenital malformations of the circulatory system (Q20-Q28)

Other codes that can never be billed with P29

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P29. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P29 alone.

P03.81Newborn affected by abnormality in fetal (intrauterine) heart rate or rhythm
R00Abnormalities of heart beat
R00.0Tachycardia, unspecified
R00.1Bradycardia, unspecified
R01Cardiac murmurs and other cardiac sounds
I24Other acute ischemic heart diseases
I27.0Primary pulmonary hypertension
Z03.83Encounter for observation for suspected conditions related to home physiologic monitoring device ruled out

Risk adjustment

P29 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 P29

7 child codes. Green means billable.
