P02.20Newborn affected by unspecified morphological and functional abnormalities of placenta

P02.20 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for newborn affected by unspecified morphological and functional abnormalities of placenta. It belongs to category P02 (newborn affected by complications of placenta, cord and membranes), 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 billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within P02.2, choose P02.20 (unspecified morphological and functional abnormalities of placenta) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: other morphological and functional abnormalities of placenta (P02.29).

Code first: any current condition in newborn.

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 794 (Neonate with Other Significant Problems, relative weight 1.4935), in MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 762.2 (other and unspecified morphological and functional abnormalities of placenta affecting fetus or newborn).
