Q52.129Other and unspecified longitudinal vaginal septum

Q52.129 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other and unspecified longitudinal vaginal septum. It belongs to category Q52 (other congenital malformations of female genitalia), block Q50-Q56 (congenital malformations of genital organs) and chapter 17 (congenital malformations, deformations, chromosomal abnormalities, and genetic disorders). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within Q52.12, choose Q52.129 (Other and unspecified longitudinal vaginal septum) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: nonobstructing (Q52.120), obstructing, right side (Q52.121), obstructing, left side (Q52.122), microperforate, right side (Q52.123) and microperforate, left side (Q52.124).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.8456), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.2974), DRG 760 (Menstrual and Other Female Reproductive System Disorders with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0129) and DRG 761 (Menstrual and Other Female Reproductive System Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7041), in MDC 13 (Diseases and Disorders of the Female Reproductive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It is on the CMS list of diagnoses consistent only with female patients (the sex-conflict edit itself was retired in FY2025).

It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 752.47 (longitudinal vaginal septum).
