Questions About Q82.8Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for other specified congenital malformations of skin?
The ICD-10-CM code for other specified congenital malformations of skin is Q82.8 (sometimes written as Q828). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is Q82.8 (Other congenital malformations of skin) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other specified congenital malformations of skin on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does Q82.8 group to?
When other specified congenital malformations of skin is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 795, 607, 606, with relative weights from 0.2022 to 1.5721 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is Q82.8 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 specified congenital malformations of skin on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Other congenital malformations (Q80-Q89) range of the CMS exempt list.
Can Q82.8 be reported with a code from Q79.6?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on Q82.8 lists "Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (Q79.6-)". 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).
