Q76.49
BillableOther congenital malformations of spine, not associated with scoliosis
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Other birth defects of the spine that do not involve abnormal side-to-side curvature (scoliosis), such as vertebral fusion or segmentation abnormalities.
Coding Tips
- •This is a catch-all code for congenital spine malformations not classified elsewhere; document the specific defect
- •Do not use if scoliosis is present; scoliosis codes are in the Q76.3 category
