Q62.2

Billable

Congenital megaureter

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

What This Code Means

A birth defect where the ureter (tube carrying urine from kidney to bladder) is abnormally enlarged, which can affect urine flow and kidney function.

Coding Tips

  • •Specify laterality (right, left, or bilateral) if documented in the medical record
  • •Distinguish from acquired megaureter due to obstruction or reflux, which would have different coding
