Q76.429

Billable

Congenital lordosis, unspecified region

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 spine curves abnormally backward (lordosis), but the specific location along the spine is not specified.

Coding Tips

  • •Use only when the anatomical region of lordosis is not documented or cannot be determined
  • •If region is documented, assign the more specific code (Q76.420-Q76.428) instead
