Q96

Q96 — Turner's syndrome

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

Q96 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for turner's syndrome. 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.

Noonan syndrome (Q87.19)

Other codes that can never be billed with Q96

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Q96. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Q96 alone.

Q50.0Congenital absence of ovary
Q56Indeterminate sex and pseudohermaphroditism
Q97Other sex chromosome abnormalities, female phenotype, not elsewhere classified
E28.3Primary ovarian failure

Risk adjustment

Q96 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 Q96

7 child codes. Green means billable.
