P61 — Other perinatal hematological disorders
Is P61 billable?
No — P61 is a non-billable header code. P61 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 9 billable codes beneath P61.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with P61 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy (D80.7)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from P50-P61
The conditions below can never be reported together with P61 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 16
The conditions below are not part of P61, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, P61 and the excluded code may both be reported.

P61 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.
