Which MS-DRGs does P93.0 group to?
P93.0 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.

As a secondary diagnosis, P93.0 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from P93
The conditions below can never be reported together with P93.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- jaundice due to drugs or toxins transmitted from mother or given to newborn (P58.4-)
- reactions and intoxications from maternal opiates, tranquilizers and other medication (P04.0-P04.1, P04.4-)
- withdrawal symptoms from maternal use of drugs of addiction (P96.1)
- withdrawal symptoms from therapeutic use of drugs in newborn (P96.2)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 16
The conditions below are not part of P93.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, P93.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
How long has P93.0 existed?
P93.0 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.
