Q65 — Congenital deformities of hip
Is Q65 billable?
No — Q65 is a non-billable header code. Q65 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 15 billable codes beneath Q65.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with Q65 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- clicking hip (R29.4)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 17
The conditions below are not part of Q65, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Q65 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- inborn errors of metabolism (E70-E88)

Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
