About coding meconium plug newborn syndrome
The ICD-10-CM code for meconium plug newborn syndrome is P76.0 (Meconium plug syndrome).
Within P76 (other intestinal obstruction of newborn), P76.0 is specifically for meconium plug syndrome. Related codes cover transitory ileus of newborn (P76.1), intestinal obstruction due to inspissated milk (P76.2), other specified intestinal obstruction of newborn (P76.8) and intestinal obstruction of newborn, unspecified (P76.9).
Don't report P76.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: meconium ileus in cystic fibrosis (E84.11).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
