Q62.10

Billable

Congenital occlusion of ureter, unspecified

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A congenital blockage of the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder, but the exact location of the obstruction is not specified.

Coding Tips

  • •This is a non-specific code for ureteral obstruction; use Q62.11 or Q62.12 if the obstruction location is documented
  • •Determine if the obstruction is at the ureteropelvic junction (Q62.11) or ureterovesical orifice (Q62.12) for more precise coding
