Congenital absence of bladder and urethra

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

What This Code Means

A rare birth defect where a baby is born without a bladder and urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body).

Coding Tips

•This is a severe congenital condition requiring immediate surgical intervention; ensure documentation clearly states complete absence
•Verify if this is an isolated defect or part of a syndrome, as associated anomalies should be coded separately
