P83.88 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for other specified conditions of integument specific to newborn. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Bronze baby syndrome
- Neonatal scleroderma
- Urticaria neonatorum
Other codes that can never be billed with P83.88
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P83.88. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P83.88 alone.
- M34Systemic sclerosis [scleroderma]
Risk adjustment
P83.88 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 P83.88 is indexed
