Craniofacial Abnormalities
Craniofacial is a medical term that relates to the bones of the skull and face. Craniofacial abnormalities are birth defects of the face or head. Some, like cleft lip and palate, are among the most common of all birth defects. Others are very rare. Most of them affect how a person's face or head looks.

Questions About Q67.4Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for other congenital deformities of skull, face and jaw?
The ICD-10-CM code for other congenital deformities of skull, face and jaw is Q67.4 (sometimes written as Q674). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is Q67.4 a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other congenital deformities of skull, face and jaw on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does Q67.4 group to?
When other congenital deformities of skull, face and jaw is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 564, 566, 565, with relative weights from 0.7374 to 1.4909 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is Q67.4 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 other congenital deformities of skull, face and jaw on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Congenital malformations and deformations of the musculoskeletal system (Q65-Q79) range of the CMS exempt list.
Can Q67.4 be reported with a code from M26?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on Q67.4 lists "dentofacial anomalies [including malocclusion] (M26.-)". 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).
