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)
