Q07Other congenital malformations of nervous system

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

Q07 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other congenital malformations of nervous system. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • congenital central alveolar hypoventilation syndrome (G47.35)
  • familial dysautonomia [Riley-Day] (G90.1)
  • neurofibromatosis (nonmalignant) (Q85.0-)

Other codes that can never be billed with Q07

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Q07. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Q07 alone.

  • Q03Congenital hydrocephalus
  • Q05Spina bifida
  • G91Hydrocephalus

Risk adjustment

Q07 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 Q07

3 child codes. Green means billable.
