About P93

P93 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for reactions and intoxications due to drugs administered to newborn. It belongs to block P90-P96 (other disorders originating in the perinatal period) 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.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: P93.0 (syndrome) and P93.8 (newborn).

Don't report P93 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: jaundice due to drugs or toxins transmitted from mother or given to newborn (P58.4-), reactions and intoxications from maternal opiates, tranquilizers and other medication (P04.0-P04.1, P04.4-), withdrawal symptoms from maternal use of drugs of addiction (P96.1) and withdrawal symptoms from therapeutic use of drugs in newborn (P96.2).

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