P50Newborn affected by intrauterine (fetal) blood loss

P50 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for newborn affected by intrauterine (fetal) blood loss. It belongs to block P50-P61 (hemorrhagic and hematological disorders of newborn) 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: P50.0 (from vasa previa), P50.1 (from ruptured cord), P50.2 (from placenta), P50.3 (co-twin), P50.4 (circulation), P50.5 (from cut end of co-twin's cord), P50.8 (loss) and P50.9 (unspecified).

Don't report P50 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: congenital anemia from intrauterine (fetal) blood loss (P61.3).

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