About Q37

Q37 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for cleft palate with cleft lip. It belongs to block Q35-Q37 (cleft lip and cleft palate) 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Q37.0 (lip), Q37.1 (lip), Q37.2 (lip), Q37.3 (lip), Q37.4 (lip), Q37.5 (lip), Q37.8 (lip) and Q37.9 (lip).

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