Excludes1 inherited from the categories above P54.4

These are not written on P54.4, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing P54.4 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on P54 Other neonatal hemorrhages

  • newborn affected by (intrauterine) blood loss (P50.-)
  • pulmonary hemorrhage originating in the perinatal period (P26.-)

Risk adjustment

P54.4 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.

How P54.4 is indexed

Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to P54.4.
