Q67
Q67 — Congenital musculoskeletal deformities of head, face, spine and chest
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
Q67 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for congenital musculoskeletal deformities of head, face, spine and chest. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with Q67
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Q67. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Q67 alone.
Risk adjustment
Q67 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.
Code to one of these instead Q67
9 child codes. Green means billable.
