Q14

Q14 — Congenital malformations of posterior segment of eye

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

Q14 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for congenital malformations of posterior segment of eye. 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.

optic nerve hypoplasia (H47.03-)

Other codes that can never be billed with Q14

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Q14. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Q14 alone.

H33.1Retinoschisis and retinal cysts

Risk adjustment

Q14 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 Q14

6 child codes. Green means billable.
