How is P04.3 listed in the Alphabetic Index?

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with P04.3 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • fetal alcohol syndrome (Q86.0)

Code first — inherited from P04

The underlying condition below must be sequenced before P04.3. P04.3 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.

  • any current condition in newborn, if applicable

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 16

The conditions below are not part of P04.3, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, P04.3 and the excluded code may both be reported.
