About P52
P52 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for intracranial nontraumatic hemorrhage of newborn. 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 9 subcodes must be used instead.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: P52.0 (newborn), P52.1 (newborn), P52.2 (newborn), P52.3 (newborn), P52.4 (newborn), P52.5 (newborn), P52.6 (newborn), P52.8 (newborn) and 1 more.
Don't report P52 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: intracranial hemorrhage due to birth injury (P10.-) and intracranial hemorrhage due to other injury (S06.-).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
