2021 ICD-10-CM Code Q87.5
Other congenital malformation syndromes with other skeletal changes
Valid for Submission
Q87.5 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other congenital malformation syndromes with other skeletal changes. The code Q87.5 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The ICD-10-CM code Q87.5 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like 3-m syndrome, acromegaloid phenotype with cutis verticis gyrata and corneal leukoma, anophthalmia and megalocornea with cardiopathy and skeletal anomalies syndrome, antley-bixler syndrome, arachnodactyly , arachnodactyly with abnormal ossification and intellectual disability syndrome, etc. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.

Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping
The ICD-10 code Q87.5 is grouped in the following groups for version MS-DRG V38.0 What are Diagnostic Related Groups?
The Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a patient classification scheme which provides a means of relating the type of patients a hospital treats. The DRGs divides all possible principal diagnoses into mutually exclusive principal diagnosis areas referred to as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC). applicable from 10/01/2020 through 09/30/2021.
- 564 - OTHER MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE DIAGNOSES WITH MCC - Relative Weight: 1.5138
- 565 - OTHER MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE DIAGNOSES WITH CC - Relative Weight: 1.0063
- 566 - OTHER MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE DIAGNOSES WITHOUT CC/MCC - Relative Weight: 0.7515
Present on Admission (POA)
Q87.5 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here .
CMS POA Indicator Options and Definitions
POA Indicator Code | POA Reason for Code | CMS will pay the CC/MCC DRG? |
---|---|---|
Y | Diagnosis was present at time of inpatient admission. | YES |
N | Diagnosis was not present at time of inpatient admission. | NO |
U | Documentation insufficient to determine if the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. | NO |
W | Clinically undetermined - unable to clinically determine whether the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. | YES |
1 | Unreported/Not used - Exempt from POA reporting. | NO |
Convert Q87.5 to ICD-9 Code
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code Q87.5 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Information for Patients
Birth Defects
A birth defect is a problem that happens while a baby is developing in the mother's body. Most birth defects happen during the first 3 months of pregnancy. One out of every 33 babies in the United States is born with a birth defect.
A birth defect may affect how the body looks, works or both. Some birth defects like cleft lip or neural tube defects are structural problems that can be easy to see. To find others, like heart defects, doctors use special tests. Birth defects can range from mild to severe. Causes can include
- Genetics
- Exposures to medicines or chemicals. For example, alcohol abuse can cause fetal alcohol syndrome.
- Infections during pregnancy
- Certain medicines. Before you get pregnant, talk to your health care provider about any medicines you take.
- Not getting enough of certain nutrients. For example, not getting enough folic acid before and during pregnancy is a key factor in causing neural tube defects.
For most birth defects, the cause is unknown.
Health care providers can diagnose certain birth defects during pregnancy, with prenatal tests. That's why it important to get regular prenatal care. Other birth defects may not be found until after the baby is born. Sometimes the defect is obvious right away. Other times, the health care provider may not discover it until later in life.
Babies with birth defects often need special care and treatments. The treatments may include surgery, medicines, assistive devices, and therapies.
