Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ICD-10 code for other specified congenital malformations of brain?

The ICD-10-CM code for other specified congenital malformations of brain is Q04.8. The full clinical description is "Other specified congenital malformations of brain". Q04.8 is a billable/specific code that can be used on insurance claims and medical billing.

What does ICD-10 code Q04.8 mean?

ICD-10-CM code Q04.8 represents “Other specified congenital malformations of brain”. It is classified under Chapter 17: Congenital Malformations, Deformations and Chromosomal Abnormalities and is a billable/specific code that can be used on a claim.

Is Q04.8 a billable code?

Yes, Q04.8 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code and can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a medical claim.

What chapter is Q04.8 in?

Q04.8 is in Chapter 17: Congenital Malformations, Deformations and Chromosomal Abnormalities (codes Q00-Q99).

What codes cannot be used with Q04.8?

Q04.8 has Excludes1 notes indicating codes that cannot be used together with it, including: cyclopia (Q87.0); macrocephaly (Q75.3).
