Birth Defects
A birth defect is a problem that happens while a baby is developing in the mother's body. Most birth defects happen during the first 3 months of pregnancy. One out of every 33 babies in the United States is born with a birth defect.

Questions About Q10.3Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for other congenital malformations of eyelid?
The ICD-10-CM code for other congenital malformations of eyelid is Q10.3 (sometimes written as Q103). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is Q10.3 a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other congenital malformations of eyelid on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does Q10.3 group to?
When other congenital malformations of eyelid is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 125, 124, with relative weights from 0.7699 to 1.2470 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is Q10.3 exempt from POA reporting?
Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for other congenital malformations of eyelid on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Congenital malformations of eye, ear, face and neck (Q10-Q18) range of the CMS exempt list.
Can Q10.3 be reported with Q11.2?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at Q10, which applies to Q10.3, lists "cryptophthalmos NOS (Q11.2)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
