Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with P80.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- mild hypothermia of newborn (P80.8)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to P80.0.
- Severe and usually chronic hypothermia associated with a pink flushed appearance, edema and neurological and biochemical abnormalities.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 16
The conditions below are not part of P80.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, P80.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
How long has P80.0 existed?
P80.0 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 P80.0?
ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with P80.0 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
