Q80
Q80 — Congenital ichthyosis
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
Q80 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for congenital ichthyosis. 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.
- Refsum's disease (G60.1)
Other codes that can never be billed with Q80
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Q80. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Q80 alone.
Risk adjustment
Q80 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 Q80
7 child codes. Green means billable.
