ICD-10-CM Code For Other Conditions Of Integument Specific To Newborn: Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group P83 includes neonatal skin and integument conditions that are specific to the newborn period, such as texture and integrity abnormalities, transient neonatal rashes, and other congenital integument lesions. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical scenarios involving the newborn skin and integument, capturing disease type, severity, and any associated complications or systemic involvement relevant to neonatal care. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM P83 group supports proper claim adjudication and complete clinical documentation for appropriate reimbursement.

ICD-10-CM P83: Other Conditions Of Integument Specific To Newborn Overview

The diagnoses in this group represent skin and integumentary conditions that are specific to the neonatal period, including transient and congenital lesions that affect the newborn integument. These conditions target the skin and its appendages and can include rashes, epidermal sloughing, and other neonatal-specific dermatoses. Accurate coding is important for complete clinical documentation and supports appropriate reimbursement by reflecting the specific neonatal integument condition treated.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when documenting a skin or integument condition that is specific to the newborn and diagnosed during the neonatal period. Select the most specific code that reflects the clinical findings, any associated systemic involvement, and severity documented in the medical record.

ICD-10-CM Code	Description
P83.0	Sclerema neonatorum

DRG Codes

DRG Code	Description
791	Prematurity with Major Problems
793	Full Term Neonate with Major Problems
794	Neonate with Other Significant Problems
795	Normal Newborn

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A neonate born at term is noted in the nursery to have transient neonatal pustular melanosis with multiple small vesiculopustular lesions on the face and trunk that rupture and leave hyperpigmented macules; the infant is otherwise feeding well and afebrile, and the pediatrician documents a benign self-limited integumentary condition requiring only observation. A code from this group is assigned to describe the newborn-specific skin eruption. Typical codes: P83.0
A preterm infant in the NICU develops diffuse epidermal sloughing and denudation after prolonged adhesive dressing use and monitoring devices, resulting in pain, fluid loss risk, and need for wound care and infection surveillance; dermatology and neonatology document an iatrogenic integumentary complication of the newborn period. A diagnosis code from this group is used to capture the integument injury related to medical devices or adhesives. Typical codes: P83.4, P83.5
A newborn presents to the emergency department with generalized cyanosis and hypothermia shortly after birth; on exam the infant has mottled, cool skin and impaired temperature regulation attributed to neonatal thermoregulatory disturbance rather than sepsis, requiring warming measures and monitoring. An integument/temperature regulation code from this group is assigned to indicate the newborn’s temperature instability related to integumentary function. Typical codes: P83.6, P83.81
