Q61: Cystic kidney disease

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

Q61 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for cystic kidney disease. 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.

  • acquired cyst of kidney (N28.1)
  • Potter's syndrome (Q60.6)

Other codes that can never be billed with Q61

Their own Excludes1 notes name this code, so the conflict is not listed above.

  • N28.1Cyst of kidney, acquired
  • Q01Encephalocele
  • Q02Microcephaly
  • Q61.4Renal dysplasia
  • Q85.8Other phakomatoses, not elsewhere classified
