Q74 — Other congenital malformations of limb(s)

Not billable

Is Q74 billable?

No — Q74 is a non-billable header code. Q74 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 6 billable codes beneath Q74.

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with Q74 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

polydactyly (Q69.-)
reduction defect of limb (Q71-Q73)
syndactyly (Q70.-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 17

The conditions below are not part of Q74, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Q74 and the excluded code may both be reported.

inborn errors of metabolism (E70-E88)
