P28 — Other respiratory conditions originating in the perinatal period
Is P28 billable?
No — P28 is a non-billable header code. P28 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 19 billable codes beneath P28.

- , if applicable, congenital malformations of the respiratory system (Q30-Q34)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 16
The conditions below are not part of P28, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, P28 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has P28 existed?
P28 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
Which codes are confused with P28?
ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with P28 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
