Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Dentinogenesis Imperfecta

    an autosomal dominant disorder of tooth development characterized by opalescent dentin resulting in discoloration of the teeth. the dentin develops poorly with low mineral content while the pulp canal is obliterated.
  • Pectus Carinatum

    a developmental anomaly characterized by abnormal anterior protrusion of the sternum and adjacent costal cartilage.
  • Arachnodactyly

    an abnormal bone development that is characterized by extra long and slender hands and fingers, such that the clenched thumb extends beyond the ulnar side of the hand. arachnodactyly can include feet and toes. arachnodactyly has been associated with several gene mutations and syndromes.
  • Acrocallosal Syndrome

    autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by hypogenesis or agenesis of corpus callosum. clinical features include mental retardation; craniofacial abnormalities; digital malformations, and growth retardation.
  • Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

    diaphragmatic hernia that is present at birth.
  • Dentinogenesis Imperfecta

    a congenital tooth development disorder caused by mutations in the dspp gene. the teeth are weak, discolored, and translucent.
  • Akinesia

    lack of movement.
  • Fetal Akinesia Deformation Sequence|FADS|Pena-Shokeir syndrome, Type 1

    a condition characterized by fetal akinesia and intrauterine growth restriction, that may be associated with mutation(s) in the rapsn or dok7 genes, encoding 43 kda receptor-associated protein of the synapse and protein dok-7, respectively.
  • Congenital Kyphosis

    an abnormally increased curvature of the thoracic portion of the spine that is present at the time of birth.
  • Acrocallosal Syndrome

    a rare genetic syndrome characterized by agenesis of the corpus callosum, polydactyly, mental and motor retardation.

Present on Admission (POA)

Q74.8 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.

Footnotes

[1] Chronic - a chronic condition code indicates a condition lasting 12 months or longer and its effect on the patient based on one or both of the following criteria:

  • The condition results in the need for ongoing intervention with medical products,treatment, services, and special equipment
  • The condition places limitations on self-care, independent living, and social interactions.
