P80 vs R68.0
P80 (Hypothermia of newborn) compared with R68.0 (Hypothermia, not associated with low environmental temperature), 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. R68.0 carries an Excludes1 note covering P80: “newborn hypothermia (P80.-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
