SLC6A1-related disorder

A neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the SLC6A1 gene, which affects the transport of neurotransmitters in the brain and can cause seizures and developmental delays.

What This Code Means

QA0.0131 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for slc6a1-related disorder. A neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the SLC6A1 gene, which affects the transport of neurotransmitters in the brain and can cause seizures and developmental delays. QA0.0131 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (q00-qa0), within the section covering genetic disorders, not elsewhere classified (qa0).

QA0.0131 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Verify genetic testing confirms SLC6A1 pathogenic variant is documented.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for QA0.0131 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Verify genetic testing confirms SLC6A1 pathogenic variant is documented
