ICD-10 code for face asymmetry

The ICD-10-CM code for face asymmetry is Q67.0 (Congenital facial asymmetry).

Within Q67 (congenital musculoskeletal deformities of head, face, spine and chest), Q67.0 is specifically for congenital facial asymmetry. Related codes cover congenital compression facies (Q67.1), Dolichocephaly (Q67.2), Plagiocephaly (Q67.3), other congenital deformities of skull, face and jaw (Q67.4), congenital deformity of spine (Q67.5), pectus excavatum (Q67.6), pectus carinatum (Q67.7) and other congenital deformities of chest (Q67.8).

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 564 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.4908), DRG 565 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with CC, relative weight 0.9783) and DRG 566 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7378), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
