Newborn affected by intrauterine (fetal) blood loss from ruptured cord

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A newborn loses blood before birth because the umbilical cord tears or ruptures, allowing fetal blood to escape into the amniotic fluid.

Coding Tips

  • Document the timing of cord rupture (antepartum vs. intrapartum) if known
  • Correlate with delivery records and placental examination findings to support the diagnosis
