You could use it for the lifetime of the patient, if it affected them for their lifetime.
The ICD-10-CM codes for perinatal conditions start from ICD-10-CM code P00 and goes through ICD-10-CM code P96. Most of these conditions, which develop in the perinatal timeframe, are lifelong conditions and therefore if the conditions persist the ICD-10-CM codes from Chapter 16, should be used on the medical record throughout the life of the patient, regardless of the patient’s age. More importantly, these codes from Chapter 16 for conditions originating in the perinatal period are only meant to be reported on the newborn patient’s record and should never be reported on the maternal record. Similarly, the codes for Chapter 15 are never permitted on newborn record. A code from category Z38 is assigned to report the birth episode care for a newborn, according to the place and type of delivery, is the first listed code and assigned only once to a newborn at the time of birth. Category Z38 is only used on the newborn chart, never the mother’s record.
