Is Q75 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. Q75 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does Q75 sit in the tabular list?

Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-QA0), in the block Congenital malformations and deformations of the musculoskeletal system (Q65-Q79).

What cannot be coded together with Q75?

Q75 carries an Excludes1 note, which means the conditions it lists can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.

Q75

Q75 — Other congenital malformations of skull and face bones

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

Q75 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other congenital malformations of skull and face bones. 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.

congenital malformation of face NOS (Q18.-)
congenital malformation syndromes classified to Q87.-
dentofacial anomalies [including malocclusion] (M26.-)
musculoskeletal deformities of head and face (Q67.0-Q67.4)
skull defects associated with congenital anomalies of brain such as:
anencephaly (Q00.0)
encephalocele (Q01.-)
hydrocephalus (Q03.-)
microcephaly (Q02)

Other codes that can never be billed with Q75

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Q75. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Q75 alone.

Q04Other congenital malformations of brain
Q18Other congenital malformations of face and neck
Q67.2Dolichocephaly
Q67.3Plagiocephaly
Q75.058Other multi-suture craniosynostosis
H05.3Deformity of orbit

Risk adjustment

Q75 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 Q75

8 child codes. Green means billable.
