ICD-10-CM Codes›Q00-Q99›Q80-Q89›Q87
- Billable — Valid for Submission
- CC — Complication or Comorbidity
- POA Exempt
- Chronic Condition
Q87.5 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other congenital malformation syndromes with other skeletal changes. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 564 through 566. 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 46 closely related codes. The code is exempt from POA reporting. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Other specified and unspecified congenital anomalies.

Questions About Q87.5Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for other congenital malformation syndromes with other skeletal changes?
The ICD-10-CM code for other congenital malformation syndromes with other skeletal changes is Q87.5 (sometimes written as Q875). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is Q87.5 a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other congenital malformation syndromes with other skeletal changes on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does Q87.5 group to?
When other congenital malformation syndromes with other skeletal changes 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 Q87.5 a CC or MCC?
CMS lists Q87.5 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 46 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
Is Q87.5 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 malformation syndromes with other skeletal changes on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Other congenital malformations (Q80-Q89) range of the CMS exempt list.
