P52 vs P84
P52 (Intracranial nontraumatic hemorrhage of newborn) compared with P84 (Other problems with newborn), 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. P84 carries an Excludes1 note covering P52: “intracranial hemorrhage due to anoxia or hypoxia (P52.-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
