Q68 — Other congenital musculoskeletal deformities

Not billable

Is Q68 billable?

No — Q68 is a non-billable header code. Q68 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 8 billable codes beneath Q68.

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with Q68 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

reduction defects of limb(s) (Q71-Q73)

Excludes2 — not included here

The conditions below are not part of Q68, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Q68 and the excluded code may both be reported.

congenital myotonic chondrodystrophy (G71.13)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 17

The conditions below are not part of Q68, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Q68 and the excluded code may both be reported.
