About coding thyroglossal duct persistence
The ICD-10-CM code for thyroglossal duct persistence is Q89.2 (Congenital malformations of other endocrine glands).
Within Q89, choose Q89.2 (Congenital malformations of other endocrine glands) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: congenital absence and malformations of spleen (Q89.0), congenital malformations of adrenal gland (Q89.1), Situs inversus (Q89.3), conjoined twins (Q89.4), multiple congenital malformations, not elsewhere classified (Q89.7), other specified congenital malformations (Q89.8) and congenital malformation, unspecified (Q89.9).
Don't report Q89.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: congenital goiter (E03.0) and congenital hypothyroidism (E03.1).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for Q89.2)
