P03.89 — Newborn affected by other specified complications of labor and delivery
Is P03.89 billable?
Yes, but P03.89 is an unspecified code. P03.89 is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, P03.89 is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting P03.89 — the more specific alternatives are listed below.
