P83Other conditions of integument specific to newborn

P83 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other conditions of integument specific to newborn. It belongs to block P80-P83 (conditions involving the integument and temperature regulation 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: P83.0 (neonatorum), P83.1 (toxicum), P83.2 (disease), P83.3 (newborn), P83.4 (newborn), P83.5 (hydrocele), P83.6 (newborn), P83.8 (newborn) and 1 more.

Don't report P83 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: congenital malformations of skin and integument (Q80-Q84), hydrops fetalis due to hemolytic disease (P56.-), neonatal skin infection (P39.4) and staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (L00).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of P83, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: cradle cap (L21.0) and diaper [napkin] dermatitis (L22).

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