Other congenital malformations of limb(s) (Q74) ICD-10-CM
The Q74 code range covers other congenital malformations of limb(s) with 7 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 6 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

About the Q74 Code Range
These are limb malformations present at birth, within the larger group of musculoskeletal malformations and deformations.
The subdivisions separate upper limbs and the shoulder girdle (Q74.0), the knee (Q74.1), and lower limbs and the pelvic girdle (Q74.2). A named congenital condition has its own subdivision (Q74.3). The remaining subdivisions distinguish other specified limb malformations (Q74.8) from unspecified ones (Q74.9).
