P83.3 vs R60
P83.3 (Other and unspecified edema specific to newborn) compared with R60 (Edema, not elsewhere classified), 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. R60 carries an Excludes1 note covering P83.3: “newborn edema (P83.3)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
