Questions About Q50.4Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for embryonic cyst of fallopian tube?

The ICD-10-CM code for embryonic cyst of fallopian tube is Q50.4 (sometimes written as Q504). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Is Q50.4 a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report embryonic cyst of fallopian tube on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does Q50.4 group to?

When embryonic cyst of fallopian tube is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 742, 743, 760, 761, with relative weights from 0.7039 to 1.8448 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Is Q50.4 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 embryonic cyst of fallopian tube on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Congenital malformations of genital organs (Q50-Q56) range of the CMS exempt list.

Can Q50.4 be reported with a code from E34.5?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block Q50-Q56, which applies to Q50.4, lists "androgen insensitivity syndrome (E34.5-)". 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).
