Question

A baby boy is born by cesarean section in the hospital. ABO incompatibility was documented, but the Coomb's test was negative, ruling out the ABO incompatibility, so no treatment was given. What ICD-10-CM codes are reported for the newborn's record?

a. 36.1190, Z38.01, Z03.79
b. Z38.01, P55.1
c. P01.8, Z38.01
d. Z38.01, Z05.8
