About coding neonatorum purpura
The ICD-10-CM code for neonatorum purpura is P54.5 (Neonatal cutaneous hemorrhage).
Within P54 (other neonatal hemorrhages), P54.5 is specifically for neonatal cutaneous 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 vaginal hemorrhage (P54.6), other specified neonatal hemorrhages (P54.8) and neonatal hemorrhage, unspecified (P54.9).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of P54.5, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: bruising of scalp due to birth injury (P12.3) and cephalhematoma due to birth injury (P12.0).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
