P83 — Other conditions of integument specific to newborn
P83 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other conditions of integument specific to newborn. 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.
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.
Other codes that can never be billed with P83
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P83. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P83 alone.
Risk adjustment
P83 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 P83
