Guidelines tips
From the FY2027 Official Guidelines. ICD10Ref adds no rules of its own.
Chapter 16 codes are never used on the maternal record, and chapter 15 codes are never used on the newborn record. Chapter 16 codes can be used for life if the condition persists.
Prematurity is coded only when documented. When birth weight and gestational age are both available, two P07 codes are assigned, weight first. P07 can also apply to an older child or adult whose health is still affected.
Excludes2
Not included here. Both codes may be reported if the patient has both conditions.
