Is P52.2 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. P52.2 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does P52.2 sit in the tabular list?

Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P00-P96), in the block Hemorrhagic and hematological disorders of newborn (P50-P61).

What cannot be coded together with P52.2?

P52.2 carries Excludes1 notes, which means the conditions they list can never be coded together with it on the same encounter. Some are written on the categories above P52.2 (P52) and apply to it just the same.

P52.2

P52.2 — Intraventricular (nontraumatic) hemorrhage, grade 3 and grade 4, of newborn

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

P52.2 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for intraventricular (nontraumatic) hemorrhage, grade 3 and grade 4, of newborn. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above P52.2

These are not written on P52.2, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing P52.2 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on P52 — Intracranial nontraumatic hemorrhage of newborn

intracranial hemorrhage due to birth injury (P10.-)
intracranial hemorrhage due to other injury (S06.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with P52.2

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P52.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P52.2 alone.

P10Intracranial laceration and hemorrhage due to birth injury

Risk adjustment

P52.2 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 history

P52.2 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
