Which MS-DRGs does P61.0 group to?
P61.0 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, P61.0 is a major complication or comorbidity (MCC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
How is P61.0 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to P61.0. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenic › neonatal, transitory
- Thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenic › transient neonatal
- Purpura › thrombocytopenic › neonatal, transitory
- Thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenic › neonatal, transitory › due to › exchange transfusion
- Thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenic › neonatal, transitory › due to › idiopathic maternal thrombocytopenia
- Thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenic › neonatal, transitory › due to › isoimmunization
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to P61.0.
- Neonatal thrombocytopenia due to exchange transfusion
- Neonatal thrombocytopenia due to idiopathic maternal thrombocytopenia
- Neonatal thrombocytopenia due to isoimmunization
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from P50-P61
The conditions below can never be reported together with P61.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from P61
The conditions below can never be reported together with P61.0 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)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 16
The conditions below are not part of P61.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, P61.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
How long has P61.0 existed?
P61.0 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 P61.0?
ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with P61.0 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
