Sagittal craniosynostosis

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 sagittal suture (the seam running down the middle of the skull) fuses prematurely, causing the head to become long and narrow.

Coding Tips

  • •Sagittal craniosynostosis is the most common type; look for documentation of dolichocephalic (elongated) head shape
  • •This code does not differentiate laterality, as sagittal suture fusion is inherently midline
