About Q06

Q06 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other congenital malformations of spinal cord. It belongs to block Q00-Q07 (congenital malformations of the nervous system) and chapter 17 (congenital malformations, deformations, chromosomal abnormalities, and genetic disorders). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 7 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Q06.0 (Amyelia), Q06.1 (cord), Q06.2 (Diastematomyelia), Q06.3 (malformations), Q06.4 (Hydromyelia), Q06.8 (cord) and Q06.9 (unspecified).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
