About P02

P02 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for newborn affected by complications of placenta, cord and membranes. It belongs to block P00-P04 (newborn affected by maternal factors and by complications of pregnancy, labor, and delivery) and chapter 16 (certain conditions originating in the perinatal period). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 10 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: P02.0 (previa), P02.1 (hemorrhage), P02.2 (placenta), P02.3 (syndromes), P02.4 (cord), P02.5 (cord), P02.6 (cord), P02.7 (chorioamnionitis) and 2 more.

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of P02, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: encounter for observation of newborn for suspected diseases and conditions ruled out (Z05.-).

Code first: any current condition in newborn.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2017 (title revised).
