Pers hx of other conditions arising in the perinatal period

This code indicates a patient's past medical history of a condition that originated during the perinatal period (from the 22nd week of gestation to 28 days after birth) and has since been resolved or corrected. It signifies that while the condition is no longer active, it was a significant health event in the patient's early life.

This code is appropriate when documenting a patient's history of conditions like corrected congenital heart defects, resolved neonatal infections, or other perinatal issues that are no longer present but are relevant to their ongoing care. It is used for follow-up visits or when the historical condition impacts current treatment decisions.

• Assign this code as a secondary diagnosis when the historical condition is not the primary reason for the encounter.
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the condition is "corrected," "resolved," or "history of."
• Do not use this code for active perinatal conditions; those require codes from Chapter 16 (P00-P96).
