Q75 — Other congenital malformations of skull and face bones
Is Q75 billable?
No — Q75 is a non-billable header code. Q75 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 22 billable codes beneath Q75.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with Q75 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- congenital malformation of face NOS (Q18.-)
- congenital malformation syndromes classified to Q87.-
- dentofacial anomalies [including malocclusion] (M26.-)
- musculoskeletal deformities of head and face (Q67.0-Q67.4)
- skull defects associated with congenital anomalies of brain such as:
- anencephaly (Q00.0)
- encephalocele (Q01.-)
- hydrocephalus (Q03.-)
- microcephaly (Q02)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 17
The conditions below are not part of Q75, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Q75 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- inborn errors of metabolism (E70-E88)
What codes fall under Q75? (8)
How long has Q75 existed?
Q75 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
Which codes are confused with Q75?
ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with Q75 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
