What This Code Means

P61.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other transient neonatal disorders of coagulation. Temporary blood clotting problems in newborns that are not classified elsewhere, typically resolving on their own within days or weeks. P61.6 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (p00-p96), within the section covering hemorrhagic and hematological disorders of newborn (p50-p61).

P61.6 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Use this code for transient coagulation disorders specific to the perinatal period that don't fit other P61 subcategories.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for P61.6 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Use this code for transient coagulation disorders specific to the perinatal period that don't fit other P61 subcategories
  • Document the specific type of coagulation disorder when possible to support medical necessity
