About P54.6
P54.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for neonatal vaginal hemorrhage. It belongs to category P54 (other neonatal hemorrhages), block P50-P61 (hemorrhagic and hematological disorders of newborn) and chapter 16 (certain conditions originating in the perinatal period). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Within P54 (other neonatal hemorrhages), P54.6 is specifically for neonatal vaginal hemorrhage. Related codes cover neonatal hematemesis (P54.0), neonatal melena (P54.1), neonatal rectal hemorrhage (P54.2), other neonatal gastrointestinal hemorrhage (P54.3), neonatal adrenal hemorrhage (P54.4), neonatal cutaneous hemorrhage (P54.5), other specified neonatal hemorrhages (P54.8) and neonatal hemorrhage, unspecified (P54.9).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 794 (Neonate with Other Significant Problems, relative weight 1.4935), in MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
It is on the CMS list of diagnoses consistent only with female patients (the sex-conflict edit itself was retired in FY2025).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 772.8 (other specified hemorrhage of fetus or newborn).
