Billable

Metopic 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 metopic suture (the seam between the eyebrows) fuses prematurely, causing a ridge down the forehead and close-set eyes.

Coding Tips

  • •Metopic synostosis is relatively uncommon; look for characteristic trigonocephalic (triangular) forehead shape
  • •This type may be associated with hypotelorism (eyes closer together than normal)
