About Q76.41
Q76.41 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for congenital kyphosis. It belongs to category Q76 (congenital malformations of spine and bony thorax), block Q65-Q79 (congenital malformations and deformations of the musculoskeletal 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 6 subcodes must be used instead.
Within Q76.4 (other congenital malformations of spine, not associated with scoliosis), Q76.41 is specifically for congenital kyphosis. Related codes cover congenital lordosis (Q76.42) and other congenital malformations of spine, not associated with scoliosis (Q76.49).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Q76.411 (occipito-atlanto-axial region), Q76.412 (cervical region), Q76.413 (cervicothoracic region), Q76.414 (thoracic region), Q76.415 (thoracolumbar region) and Q76.419 (unspecified region).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
