Q62.31

Billable

Congenital ureterocele, orthotopic

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

What This Code Means

A birth defect where a small pouch forms in the ureter at its normal insertion point into the bladder, potentially blocking urine flow.

Coding Tips

  • •Orthotopic means the ureterocele is in the normal anatomical location; document laterality when available
  • •Differentiate from ectopic ureterocele (Q62.32) which occurs in an abnormal location
