Q66
Q66 — Congenital deformities of feet
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
Q66 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for congenital deformities of feet. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with Q66
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Q66. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Q66 alone.
Risk adjustment
Q66 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
