P50 vs P61.3
P50 (Newborn affected by intrauterine (fetal) blood loss) compared with P61.3 (Congenital anemia from fetal blood loss), 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. P50 carries an Excludes1 note covering P61.3: “congenital anemia from intrauterine (fetal) blood loss (P61.3)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
