Q75.002

Billable

Craniosynostosis, unspecified type, bilateral

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 skull bones fuse prematurely on both sides of the head, affecting normal skull growth and development.

Coding Tips

  • •This code specifies bilateral (both-sided) involvement; confirm symmetrical fusion on both sides before coding
  • •Bilateral cases may have more significant impact on head shape and may require earlier intervention
