Q85.82 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other Cowden syndrome. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 826 through 830, 843 through 845. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 6 closely related codes. The code is exempt from POA reporting. Coders also document this condition as gingival disease due to genetic disorder. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Other specified and unspecified congenital anomalies.
For Medicare Advantage risk adjustment, Q85.82 maps to CMS-HCC Category 23 (Prostate, Breast, and Other Cancers and Tumors) under the V28 model, adding a risk factor of about 0.186 for a community, non-dual, aged beneficiary in payment year 2027.

Questions About Q85.82Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for other Cowden syndrome?
The ICD-10-CM code for other Cowden syndrome is Q85.82 (sometimes written as Q8582). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is Q85.82 (Other phakomatoses, not elsewhere classified) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other Cowden syndrome on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does Q85.82 group to?
When other Cowden syndrome is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 844, 827, 829, 843, 828, 826, 830, 845, with relative weights from 0.8443 to 4.7560 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is Q85.82 a CC or MCC?
CMS lists Q85.82 as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 6 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
Is Q85.82 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 Cowden syndrome on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Other congenital malformations (Q80-Q89) range of the CMS exempt list.
What HCC is Q85.82?
Q85.82 (other Cowden syndrome) maps to CMS-HCC Category 23 (Prostate, Breast, and Other Cancers and Tumors), commonly written as HCC 23, in the CMS-HCC V28 model used for Medicare Advantage risk adjustment in payment year 2027. It mapped to HCC 12 under the retired V24 model. It also maps in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22), ESRD (V21), and ESRD (V24) models. In the Part D prescription drug model it maps to RxHCC 22.
Does Q85.82 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?
Yes. When documented and reported on a Medicare Advantage encounter, Q85.82 adds a risk adjustment factor of about 0.186 to the beneficiary's RAF score for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee (published V28 weights range from 0.186 to 0.237 depending on the payment segment). A more severe related category (HCC 17, HCC 18, HCC 19, HCC 20, HCC 21, and HCC 22) supersedes it when both are reported. See the full factor table on the HCC 23 category page.
