P83Other conditions of integument specific to newborn

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

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.

  • congenital malformations of skin and integument (Q80-Q84)
  • hydrops fetalis due to hemolytic disease (P56.-)
  • neonatal skin infection (P39.4)
  • staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (L00)

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.

  • cradle cap (L21.0)
  • diaper [napkin] dermatitis (L22)

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.

  • L50Urticaria
  • L53.0Toxic erythema
  • M34Systemic sclerosis [scleroderma]
  • N43Hydrocele and spermatocele
  • N62Hypertrophy of breast
  • P39.0Neonatal infective mastitis
  • P56Hydrops fetalis due to hemolytic disease
  • Q55Other congenital malformations of male genital organs

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

9 child codes. Green means billable.
