Q67Congenital 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.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • congenital malformation syndromes classified to Q87.-
  • Potter's syndrome (Q60.6)

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.

  • M41Scoliosis
  • Q18Other congenital malformations of face and neck
  • Q30Congenital malformations of nose
  • Q75Other congenital malformations of skull and face bones
  • Q75.01Sagittal craniosynostosis
  • Q75.02Coronal craniosynostosis
  • Q75.04Lambdoid craniosynostosis
  • Q76Congenital malformations of spine and bony thorax

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.
