Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
ICD-10-CM Chapter 17 (Q00-Q99) covers congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities present from birth that affect the body's structure and function.
This chapter includes a wide range of codes used to classify birth defects and genetic conditions that impact the development of organs, limbs, and bodily systems. Conditions such as heart malformations, cleft palate, and chromosomal disorders like Down syndrome are captured here. These codes help healthcare professionals document and communicate specific congenital issues for diagnosis, treatment planning, and health tracking. They are essential for identifying developmental abnormalities diagnosed in newborns or through prenatal screenings, supporting early intervention and specialized care.
In addition to structural malformations like skeletal or nervous system defects, the chapter also addresses inherited chromosomal abnormalities. These conditions often require multidisciplinary management, making precise coding important for coordinated medical care and specialized support services. Overall, Q00-Q99 codes provide detailed classification for congenital conditions that influence a patient's health throughout life.
