P83.9 — Condition of the integument specific to newborn, unspecified
Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM
P83.9 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for condition of the integument specific to newborn, unspecified. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Risk adjustment
P83.9 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.
