Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with P84 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to P84.
- Acidemia of newborn
- Acidosis of newborn
- Anoxia of newborn NOS
- Asphyxia of newborn NOS
- Hypercapnia of newborn
- Hypoxemia of newborn
- Hypoxia of newborn NOS
- Mixed metabolic and respiratory acidosis of newborn
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 16
The conditions below are not part of P84, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, P84 and the excluded code may both be reported.
How long has P84 existed?
P84 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 P84?
ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with P84 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
