P54Other neonatal hemorrhages

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

P54 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other neonatal hemorrhages. 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.

  • newborn affected by (intrauterine) blood loss (P50.-)
  • pulmonary hemorrhage originating in the perinatal period (P26.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with P54

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P54. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P54 alone.

  • N93Other abnormal uterine and vaginal bleeding
  • P78Other perinatal digestive system disorders
  • R11Nausea and vomiting
  • R19.5Other fecal abnormalities
  • R23.3Spontaneous ecchymoses
  • K62.5Hemorrhage of anus and rectum
  • K92Other diseases of digestive system

Risk adjustment

P54 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.

Code to one of these instead P54

9 child codes. Green means billable.
