P83.8Other specified conditions of integument specific to newborn

P83.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified conditions of integument specific to newborn. It belongs to category P83 (other conditions of integument specific to newborn), 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within P83, choose P83.8 (Other specified conditions of integument specific to newborn) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Sclerema neonatorum (P83.0), neonatal erythema toxicum (P83.1), hydrops fetalis not due to hemolytic disease (P83.2), other and unspecified edema specific to newborn (P83.3), breast engorgement of newborn (P83.4), congenital hydrocele (P83.5), umbilical polyp of newborn (P83.6) and condition of the integument specific to newborn, unspecified (P83.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: P83.81 (granuloma) and P83.88 (newborn).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2018 (expanded into subcodes).
