- Billable — Valid for Submission
- CC — Complication or Comorbidity
- POA Exempt
- Chronic Condition
Q27.30 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for arteriovenous malformation, site unspecified. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 299 through 301. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 30 closely related codes. The code is exempt from POA reporting. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Cardiac and circulatory congenital anomalies.

abnormal formation of blood vessels that shunt arterial blood directly into veins without passing through the capillaries. they usually are crooked, dilated, and with thick vessel walls. a common type is the congenital arteriovenous fistula. the lack of blood flow and oxygen in the capillaries can lead to tissue damage in the affected areas.
