About Q62

Q62 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for congenital obstructive defects of renal pelvis and congenital malformations of ureter. It belongs to block Q60-Q64 (congenital malformations of the urinary 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 9 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Q62.0 (hydronephrosis), Q62.1 (ureter), Q62.2 (megaureter), Q62.3 (ureter), Q62.4 (ureter), Q62.5 (ureter), Q62.6 (ureter), Q62.7 (reflux) and 1 more.

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