Submit one of these 9 more specific codes instead:

Q62.0 Congenital hydronephrosis
Q62.1 Congenital occlusion of ureter (also a header)
Q62.2 Congenital megaureter
Q62.3 Other obstructive defects of renal pelvis and ureter (also a header)
Q62.4 Agenesis of ureter
Q62.5 Duplication of ureter
Q62.6 Malposition of ureter (also a header)
Q62.7 Congenital vesico-uretero-renal reflux
Q62.8 Other congenital malformations of ureter

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.
