About Q87

Q87 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified congenital malformation syndromes affecting multiple systems. It belongs to 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Q87.0 (appearance), Q87.1 (stature), Q87.2 (limbs), Q87.3 (overgrowth), Q87.4 (syndrome), Q87.5 (changes), Q87.8 (classified) and Q87.A (syndrome).

Use an additional code(s) to identify all associated manifestations.

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