Q75.01

Q75.01 — Sagittal craniosynostosis

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CMPOA exempt

Other codes that can never be billed with Q75.01

Risk adjustment

Q75.01 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.

Medicare coverage

Q75.01 is named in 2 Medicare coverage policies — 2 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
