About Q80.0

Q80.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for ichthyosis vulgaris. It belongs to category Q80 (congenital ichthyosis), block Q80-Q89 (other congenital malformations) 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 Q80 (congenital ichthyosis), Q80.0 is specifically for ichthyosis vulgaris. Related codes cover X-linked ichthyosis (Q80.1), lamellar ichthyosis (Q80.2), congenital bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma (Q80.3), Harlequin fetus (Q80.4), other congenital ichthyosis (Q80.8) and unspecified (Q80.9).

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 606 (Minor Skin Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.5728) and DRG 607 (Minor Skin Disorders without MCC, relative weight 0.8772), in MDC 09 (Diseases and Disorders of the Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast), 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 exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 757.1 (ichthyosis congenita).
