About Q85.0
Q85.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for neurofibromatosis (nonmalignant). It belongs to category Q85 (phakomatoses, not elsewhere classified), block Q80-Q89 (other congenital malformations) 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.
Within Q85 (phakomatoses, not elsewhere classified), Q85.0 is specifically for neurofibromatosis (nonmalignant). Related codes cover Tuberous sclerosis (Q85.1), other phakomatoses, not elsewhere classified (Q85.8) and Phakomatosis, unspecified (Q85.9).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Q85.00 (unspecified), Q85.01 (1), Q85.02 (2), Q85.03 (Schwannomatosis) and Q85.09 (neurofibromatosis).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
