P52.3 — Unspecified intraventricular (nontraumatic) hemorrhage of newborn

BillableUnspecifiedCC

Is P52.3 billable?

Yes, but P52.3 is an unspecified code. P52.3 is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, P52.3 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 P52.3 — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Which MS-DRGs does P52.3 group to?

P52.3 sits in MDC 15 and helps define the logic of 1 MS-DRG (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.

  • 791Prematurity with Major Problemsmedical

As a secondary diagnosis, P52.3 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

How is P52.3 listed in the Alphabetic Index?

These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to P52.3. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.

  • Hemorrhage, hemorrhagic › intraventricular › newborn (concealed)
  • Newborn › affected by › hemorrhage › intraventricular (infant) (liveborn) (singleton)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from P50-P61

The conditions below can never be reported together with P52.3 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • congenital stenosis and stricture of bile ducts (Q44.3)
  • Crigler-Najjar syndrome (E80.5)
  • Dubin-Johnson syndrome (E80.6)
  • Gilbert syndrome (E80.4)
  • hereditary hemolytic anemias (D55-D58)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from P52

The conditions below can never be reported together with P52.3 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • intracranial hemorrhage due to birth injury (P10.-)
  • intracranial hemorrhage due to other injury (S06.-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 16

The conditions below are not part of P52.3, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, P52.3 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
  • endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
  • injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
  • neoplasms (C00-D49)
  • tetanus neonatorum (A33)

How long has P52.3 existed?

P52.3 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.
