About coding congenital kyphoscoliosis
The ICD-10-CM code for congenital kyphoscoliosis is Q67.5 (Congenital deformity of spine).
Within Q67 (congenital musculoskeletal deformities of head, face, spine and chest), Q67.5 is specifically for congenital deformity of spine. Related codes cover congenital facial asymmetry (Q67.0), congenital compression facies (Q67.1), Dolichocephaly (Q67.2), Plagiocephaly (Q67.3), other congenital deformities of skull, face and jaw (Q67.4), pectus excavatum (Q67.6), pectus carinatum (Q67.7) and other congenital deformities of chest (Q67.8).
Don't report Q67.5 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: infantile idiopathic scoliosis (M41.0) and scoliosis due to congenital bony malformation (Q76.3).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
