P54.3 vs P78
P54.3 (Other neonatal gastrointestinal hemorrhage) compared with P78 (Other perinatal digestive system disorders), 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. P78 carries an Excludes1 note covering P54.3: “neonatal gastrointestinal hemorrhages (P54.0-P54.3)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
