P80.0 vs P80.8
P80.0 (Cold injury syndrome) compared with P80.8 (Other hypothermia of 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. P80.0 carries an Excludes1 note covering P80.8: “mild hypothermia of newborn (P80.8)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
