Code Classification

  • Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities
    (Q00-Q99)
    • Congenital malformations of the circulatory system
      (Q20-Q28)
      • Other congenital malformations of peripheral vascular system
        (Q27)

Q27 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of other congenital malformations of peripheral vascular system. 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 Other congenital malformations of peripheral vascular system

Non-specific codes like Q27 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 other congenital malformations of peripheral vascular system:

  • Use Q27.0 for Congenital absence and hypoplasia of umbilical artery - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Q27.1 for Congenital renal artery stenosis - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Q27.2 for Other congenital malformations of renal artery - BILLABLE CODE

  • Q27.3 for Arteriovenous malformation (peripheral) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Q27.30 for Arteriovenous malformation, site unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Q27.31 for Arteriovenous malformation of vessel of upper limb - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Q27.32 for Arteriovenous malformation of vessel of lower limb - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Q27.33 for Arteriovenous malformation of digestive system vessel - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Q27.34 for Arteriovenous malformation of renal vessel - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Q27.39 for Arteriovenous malformation, other site - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Q27.4 for Congenital phlebectasia - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Q27.8 for Other specified congenital malformations of peripheral vascular system - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Q27.9 for Congenital malformation of peripheral vascular system, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Type 2 Excludes

Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
