P53Hemorrhagic disease of newborn

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

P53 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for hemorrhagic disease of newborn. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Inclusion terms

Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

  • Vitamin K deficiency of newborn

Other codes that can never be billed with P53

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P53. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P53 alone.

  • E56.1Deficiency of vitamin K
  • D68.8Other specified coagulation defects
  • D68.4Acquired coagulation factor deficiency

Risk adjustment

P53 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 P53 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 P53.
