ICD-10 Code P52.2: Intraventricular (nontraumatic) hemorrhage, grade 3 and grade 4, of newborn
Reviewed by HealthAssure Clinical TeamUpdated 26 May 2026
What is this code?
ICD-10 entries help standardize how diagnoses are organized for coding, reporting, analytics, and documentation. This code sits within the broader ICD-10 area for Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P00-P96).
When is it used?
- May be used when a clinician documents intraventricular (nontraumatic) hemorrhage, grade 3 and grade 4, of newborn in a patient's medical record.
- May appear in hospital records, claims, referrals, and clinical documentation.
- This code may act more like a grouping or parent code, so a more specific child code may be used in final documentation when available.
What it does not mean
- A code alone does not explain severity, treatment plan, or outcome.
- A medical code should not be treated as a substitute for a doctor's diagnosis or advice.
- This entry may represent a broader category rather than the most specific billable code.
