About P11

P11 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other birth injuries to central nervous system. 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: P11.0 (injury), P11.1 (injury), P11.2 (injury), P11.3 (nerve), P11.4 (nerves), P11.5 (cord) and P11.9 (unspecified).

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