ICD-10-CM Code For Hydrops Fetalis Due To Hemolytic Disease: Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group P56 includes diagnoses for hydrops fetalis resulting from hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn, capturing both immune and nonimmune etiologies with associated fetal or neonatal edema and effusions. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical scenarios of severe fetal anemia, high-output cardiac failure, and generalized fetal or neonatal fluid accumulation, capturing disease severity and organ involvement relevant to this group. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM P56 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

ICD-10-CM P56: Hydrops Fetalis Due To Hemolytic Disease Overview
This group covers hydrops fetalis caused by immune and nonimmune hemolytic disease of the newborn, a severe fetal and neonatal condition characterized by pathologic fluid accumulation in fetal compartments. It targets hematologic and perinatal systems where red blood cell destruction leads to high-output cardiac failure and edema. Accurate coding ensures severity and etiology are documented, which affects clinical care records and supports appropriate reimbursement.
