Q67.2

Billable

Dolichocephaly

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

What This Code Means

An abnormally long and narrow head shape present from birth, where the skull is elongated in the front-to-back direction.

Coding Tips

  • •This is a congenital condition that may be identified during prenatal ultrasound or at birth; document the specific measurements if available
  • •Distinguish from plagiocephaly (Q67.3) which involves asymmetrical flattening rather than simple elongation

Excludes 1 — Do NOT code together

  • sagittal craniosynostosis (Q75.01)
