Newborn affected by abnormality in fetal (intrauterine) heart rate or rhythm

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 3 more specific codes instead:

P03.810 Newborn affected by abnormality in fetal (intrauterine) heart rate or rhythm before the onset of labor
P03.811 Newborn affected by abnormality in fetal (intrauterine) heart rate or rhythm during labor
P03.819 Newborn affected by abnormality in fetal (intrauterine) heart rate or rhythm, unspecified as to time of onset

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Newborn (suspected to be) affected by abnormality in fetal (intrauterine) heart rate or rhythm
FY2017 Description revised ~~Newborn (suspected to be) affected by abnormality in fetal (intrauterine) heart rate or rhythm~~ Newborn affected by abnormality in fetal (intrauterine) heart rate or rhythm
