Includes
Conditions this code covers.
- congenital absence of kidney
- congenital atrophy of kidney
- infantile atrophy of kidney
Other codes that can never be billed with Q60
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Q60. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Q60 alone.
Risk adjustment
Q60 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 Q60
7 child codes. Green means billable.
