About P28.89

P28.89 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified respiratory conditions of newborn. It belongs to category P28 (other respiratory conditions originating in the perinatal period), block P19-P29 (respiratory and cardiovascular disorders specific to the perinatal period) and chapter 16 (certain conditions originating in the perinatal period). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within P28.8, choose P28.89 (Other specified respiratory conditions of newborn) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: respiratory arrest of newborn (P28.81).

Don't report P28.89 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: early congenital syphilitic rhinitis (A50.05).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 794 (Neonate with Other Significant Problems, relative weight 1.4935), in MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 770.89 (other respiratory problems after birth).
