2025 ICD-10-CM code P83.6
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Revision Date: N/A Deletion Date: N/A Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period - Conditions involving the integument and temperature regulation of newborn Chapter 17: Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period Feed
Umbilical polyp of newborn.
ICD-10 codes do not utilize modifiers.
Medical necessity for treatment of an umbilical polyp is established when the polyp is causing symptoms (bleeding, infection) or poses a risk of complications.Documentation must support the need for any interventions.
The clinical responsibility for managing an umbilical polyp in a newborn involves the pediatrician or neonatologist.Assessment for bleeding or infection, and potentially surgical removal, would fall under their purview.

In simple words: This code describes a small, usually harmless growth on a newborn's belly button that develops from the leftover umbilical cord. It's often not a problem, but sometimes it might bleed or get infected and need to be removed by a doctor.
P83.6, Umbilical polyp of newborn, is an ICD-10-CM code that classifies a benign, usually asymptomatic, polyp originating from the umbilical stump in a newborn.It's typically a small growth, but can sometimes be large enough to require surgical removal due to bleeding or infection risk.The polyp arises from the remnants of the umbilical cord and consists of granulation tissue.
Example 1: A newborn is noted to have a small, fleshy growth protruding from the umbilicus.The growth is asymptomatic, and observation is indicated. Code P83.6 is assigned., A newborn presents with an umbilical polyp that is bleeding.Surgical removal is performed. P83.6 is assigned, along with codes for the surgical procedure., A newborn develops an infection at the site of an umbilical polyp.Antibiotic treatment is initiated. P83.6 is assigned, along with codes describing the infection and treatment.
Detailed medical record documentation should include:* History of the umbilical polyp (size, appearance, onset).* Examination findings (physical characteristics of the polyp, any evidence of bleeding or infection).* Treatment performed (conservative management, surgical removal, antibiotic administration).* Any complications encountered.
** The clinical significance of an umbilical polyp is generally minor; however, proper documentation is crucial to ensure appropriate coding and billing, particularly if interventions are necessary.
