P26 vs P54
P26 (Pulmonary hemorrhage originating in the perinatal period) compared with P54 (Other neonatal hemorrhages), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.
Can these codes be reported together?
No — do not report together. P54 carries an Excludes1 note covering P26: “pulmonary hemorrhage originating in the perinatal period (P26.-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
