Q80 — Congenital ichthyosis
Is Q80 billable?
No — Q80 is a non-billable header code. Q80 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 7 billable codes beneath Q80.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with Q80 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- Refsum's disease (G60.1)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 17
The conditions below are not part of Q80, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Q80 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- inborn errors of metabolism (E70-E88)
