2025 ICD-10-CM code P03.6

Newborn affected by abnormal uterine contractions.

This code is to be used only on the newborn's record, not the mother's record.

Medical necessity is established by documenting the link between the abnormal uterine contractions and the newborn's condition.

The healthcare provider is responsible for assessing the newborn's condition, diagnosing the effects of abnormal uterine contractions, and providing appropriate treatment and care.

In simple words: A newborn experiencing health issues due to the mother's irregular contractions during childbirth.

This code describes a condition where a newborn is affected by abnormal uterine contractions during labor and delivery.

Example 1: A newborn presents with fetal distress during labor due to prolonged and irregular uterine contractions. The newborn is subsequently diagnosed with P03.6., A newborn is born prematurely following a period of strong, irregular uterine contractions. The premature birth is attributed to the abnormal contractions, and the newborn is assigned code P03.6., A newborn experiences a period of reduced oxygen supply during labor due to dysfunctional uterine contractions. This leads to complications for the newborn, justifying the use of code P03.6.

Documentation should include details of the abnormal uterine contractions (e.g., frequency, duration, intensity), fetal monitoring records, and any resulting newborn complications.
