Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Q75
The conditions below can never be reported together with Q75.2 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 Q75.2, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Q75.2 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- inborn errors of metabolism (E70-E88)
