The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group P37 includes congenital infections and parasitic diseases present at birth, such as infections transmitted in utero or during delivery that cause clinically significant neonatal disease. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document newborns with infectious or parasitic conditions that impact organ systems, disease severity, and the need for specialized neonatal care. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM P37 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

ICD-10-CM P37: Other Congenital Infectious And Parasitic Diseases Overview
The ICD-10-CM P37 group includes congenital infections and parasitic conditions present at birth that can affect multiple organ systems, most often involving the neonate's nervous system, hematologic system, or other vital organs. These diagnoses represent perinatal infectious exposures or congenital transmission leading to clinically significant disease in newborns. Accurate coding ensures the clinical picture is captured for surveillance and supports reimbursement processes tied to complexity of care.
