Billable/Specific Code

Code on Newborn Record

P74.0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM P74.0 became effective on October 1, 2020.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of P74.0 - other international versions of ICD-10 P74.0 may differ.

ICD-10-CM Coding Rules

P74.0 should be used on the newborn record - not on the maternal record.

Type 1 Excludes

Type 1 Excludes Help

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as P74.0. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

(fetal) metabolic acidosis of newborn (
