ICD-10 Clinic - Book 11: The Newborn

The baby's own chapter, and the exact mirror of the obstetric one: these codes appear on newborn records only, never on maternal records. This book covers what the perinatal period is and why it decides which chapter a condition belongs to, how the birth record is constructed, and the sequencing rule about birth weight and gestational age that appears in every coding examination. It also clears up the most misunderstood block in newborn coding: the codes for conditions a baby has because of something about the mother, which are still the baby's codes and need one specific thing documented before they may be used. Plus newborn breathing problems, jaundice and sepsis. Fifteen exercises with worked answers.

Twenty-five A4 pages, in full colour. Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.

Every ICD-10-CM code in this book was verified against the official 2026 code set before the file was made. Instant PDF download. By M.R. Sterling.
