P95 — Stillbirth
P95 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for stillbirth. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Deadborn fetus NOS
- Fetal death of unspecified cause
- Stillbirth NOS
Other codes that can never be billed with P95
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P95. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P95 alone.
- O02.1Missed abortion
- O36.4Maternal care for intrauterine death
- O36.4XX0Maternal care for intrauterine death, not applicable or unspecified
- O36.4XX1Maternal care for intrauterine death, fetus 1
- O36.4XX2Maternal care for intrauterine death, fetus 2
- O36.4XX3Maternal care for intrauterine death, fetus 3
- O36.4XX4Maternal care for intrauterine death, fetus 4
- O36.4XX5Maternal care for intrauterine death, fetus 5
Risk adjustment
P95 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 P95 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to P95.
