P02.7Newborn affected by chorioamnionitis

P02.7 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for newborn affected by chorioamnionitis. 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 a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within P02 (newborn affected by complications of placenta, cord and membranes), P02.7 is specifically for newborn affected by chorioamnionitis. Related codes cover placenta previa (P02.0), other forms of placental separation and hemorrhage (P02.1), other and unspecified morphological and functional abnormalities of placenta (P02.2), placental transfusion syndromes (P02.3), prolapsed cord (P02.4), other compression of umbilical cord (P02.5), other and unspecified conditions of umbilical cord (P02.6), other abnormalities of membranes (P02.8) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: P02.70 (syndrome) and P02.78 (chorioamnionitis).

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) and FY2019 (expanded into subcodes).

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 762.7 (chorioamnionitis affecting fetus or newborn).
