Questions About Q64.71Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for congenital prolapse of urethra?

The ICD-10-CM code for congenital prolapse of urethra is Q64.71 (sometimes written as Q6471). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Is Q64.71 a billable code?

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

What MS-DRG does Q64.71 group to?

When congenital prolapse of urethra is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 699, 698, 700, with relative weights from 0.6740 to 1.6400 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Is Q64.71 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 congenital prolapse of urethra on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Congenital malformations of the urinary system (Q60-Q64) range of the CMS exempt list.

Can Q64.71 be reported with Q79.4?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at Q64.7, which applies to Q64.71, lists "congenital prolapse of bladder (mucosa) (Q79.4)". 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).
