P50Newborn affected by intrauterine (fetal) blood loss

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

P50 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for newborn affected by intrauterine (fetal) blood loss. 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.

  • congenital anemia from intrauterine (fetal) blood loss (P61.3)

Other codes that can never be billed with P50

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P50. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P50 alone.

  • P51Umbilical hemorrhage of newborn
  • P54Other neonatal hemorrhages

Risk adjustment

P50 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 P50

8 child codes. Green means billable.
