Undescended and ectopic testicle

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 4 more specific codes instead:

Q53.0 Ectopic testis (also a header)
Q53.1 Undescended testicle, unilateral (also a header)
Q53.2 Undescended testicle, bilateral (also a header)
Q53.9 Undescended testicle, unspecified

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Undescended and ectopic testicle
