Other malposition of ureter

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 (the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder) is positioned abnormally in the body.

Coding Tips

  • •Specify the type of malposition if documented (e.g., retrocaval ureter, crossed ectopia)
  • •Distinguish from Q62.6 (other specified malpositions) by ensuring the specific malposition type is not listed elsewhere
