Code Classification

  • Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities
    (Q00-Q99)
    • Chromosomal abnormalities, not elsewhere classified
      (Q90-Q99)
      • Balanced rearrangements and structural markers, NEC
        (Q95)

Q95 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of balanced rearrangements and structural markers, not elsewhere classified. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Balanced rearrangements and structural markers, NEC

Non-specific codes like Q95 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for balanced rearrangements and structural markers, nec:

  • BILLABLE CODE - Use Q95.0 for Balanced translocation and insertion in normal individual

  • BILLABLE CODE - Use Q95.1 for Chromosome inversion in normal individual

  • BILLABLE CODE - Use Q95.2 for Balanced autosomal rearrangement in abnormal individual

  • BILLABLE CODE - Use Q95.3 for Balanced sex/autosomal rearrangement in abnormal individual

  • BILLABLE CODE - Use Q95.5 for Individual with autosomal fragile site

  • BILLABLE CODE - Use Q95.8 for Other balanced rearrangements and structural markers

  • BILLABLE CODE - Use Q95.9 for Balanced rearrangement and structural marker, unspecified

Patient Education


Genetic Disorders

Genes are the building blocks of heredity. They are passed from parent to child. They hold DNA, the instructions for making proteins. Proteins do most of the work in cells. They move molecules from one place to another, build structures, break down toxins, and do many other maintenance jobs.

Sometimes there is a mutation, a change in a gene or genes. The mutation changes the gene's instructions for making a protein, so the protein does not work properly or is missing entirely. This can cause a medical condition called a genetic disorder.

You can inherit a gene mutation from one or both parents. A mutation can also happen during your lifetime.

There are three types of genetic disorders:

  • Single-gene disorders, where a mutation affects one gene. Sickle cell anemia is an example.
  • Chromosomal disorders, where chromosomes (or parts of chromosomes) are missing or changed. Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genes. Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder.
  • Complex disorders, where there are mutations in two or more genes. Often your lifestyle and environment also play a role. Colon cancer is an example.

Genetic tests on blood and other tissue can identify genetic disorders.
