Questions About Q82Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other congenital malformations of skin?

Q82 is the ICD-10-CM category for other congenital malformations of skin, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is Q82 (Other congenital malformations of skin) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other congenital malformations of skin, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other congenital malformations of skin need a more specific code from this category, such as Q82.0, Q82.1, and Q82.2.

Can Q82 be reported with E83.2?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on Q82 lists "acrodermatitis enteropathica (E83.2)". 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).
