About coding Paracephalus
The ICD-10-CM code for Paracephalus is Q89.7 (Multiple congenital malformations, not elsewhere classified).
Within Q89 (other congenital malformations, not elsewhere classified), Q89.7 is specifically for multiple congenital malformations, not elsewhere classified. Related codes cover congenital absence and malformations of spleen (Q89.0), congenital malformations of adrenal gland (Q89.1), congenital malformations of other endocrine glands (Q89.2), Situs inversus (Q89.3), conjoined twins (Q89.4), other specified congenital malformations (Q89.8) and congenital malformation, unspecified (Q89.9).

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.
