About coding Plagiocephaly
The ICD-10-CM code for Plagiocephaly is Q67.3 (Plagiocephaly). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Q67.3.
Within Q67 (congenital musculoskeletal deformities of head, face, spine and chest), Q67.3 is specifically for Plagiocephaly. Related codes cover congenital facial asymmetry (Q67.0), congenital compression facies (Q67.1), Dolichocephaly (Q67.2), 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).
Don't report Q67.3 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: coronal craniosynostosis (Q75.02-) and lambdoid craniosynostosis (Q75.04-).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
