Hemolytic disease of newborn

2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Non-Billable/Non-Specific Code

• P55 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.

• A condition characterized by the abnormal presence of erythroblasts in the circulation of the fetus or newborns. It is a disorder due to blood group incompatibility, such as the maternal alloimmunization by fetal antigen rh factors leading to hemolysis of erythrocytes, hemolytic anemia (anemia, hemolytic), general edema (hydrops fetalis), and severe jaundice in newborn.
• Hemolytic anemia of the fetus or newborn caused by transplacental transmission of maternally formed antibody, usually secondary to an incompatibility between the blood groups of mother and offspring.
