P83: Other 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

Their own Excludes1 notes name this code, so the conflict is not listed above.

  • D56.0Alpha thalassemia
  • L50Urticaria
  • L53.0Toxic erythema
  • M34Systemic sclerosis [scleroderma]
  • N43Hydrocele and spermatocele
  • N62Hypertrophy of breast
