Q66.72

Billable

Congenital pes cavus, left foot

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 left foot has an abnormally high arch, causing the sole to be more curved than normal.

Coding Tips

  • •Ensure laterality is documented as left foot; if bilateral, code both Q66.71 and Q66.72
  • •Distinguish from acquired pes cavus (M21.53) which develops after birth
