QA1 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for genetic disorders associated with neoplasms, not elsewhere classified, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as QA1.71, QA1.790, QA1.791, and QA1.792.

Specific Coding for Genetic disorders associated with neoplasms, NECOverview

Non-specific codes like QA1 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • QA1.7 for Inherited neoplasm predisposition syndromes involving multiple systems, not elsewhere classified

  • Use QA1.71 for Lynch syndrome

  • QA1.79 for Other inherited neoplasm predisposition syndrome of multiple systems

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to QA1: its own notes plus those printed at Chapter 17. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

On QA1 itself
  • multiple endocrine neoplasia [MEN] syndromes (E31.2-)
From Chapter 17 (Q00-QA1) Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities applies to 900 codes
  • inborn errors of metabolism (E70-E88)

Code Also

A second code may be needed to fully describe the condition; the note gives no sequencing direction.

  • if applicable, any associated conditions, such as:
  • genetic susceptibility to malignant neoplasm by site (Z15.0-)
  • malignant neoplasms (C00.0-C96.9)
  • personal history of malignant neoplasm (Z85.-)

Notes

From Chapter 17 (Q00-QA1) Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities applies to 900 codes

Is QA1 a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for genetic disorders associated with neoplasms, not elsewhere classified, and headers cannot be submitted on claims.
