Q60Renal agenesis and other reduction defects of kidney

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

Q60 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for renal agenesis and other reduction defects of kidney. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

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.

  • Q61Cystic kidney disease
  • Q67Congenital musculoskeletal deformities of head, face, spine and chest

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.
