P10Intracranial laceration and hemorrhage due to birth injury

P10 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for intracranial laceration and hemorrhage due to birth injury. It belongs to block P10-P15 (birth trauma) 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 7 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: P10.0 (injury), P10.1 (injury), P10.2 (injury), P10.3 (injury), P10.4 (injury), P10.8 (injury) and P10.9 (injury).

Don't report P10 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: intracranial hemorrhage of newborn NOS (P52.9), intracranial hemorrhage of newborn due to anoxia or hypoxia (P52.-) and nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage of newborn (P52.-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
