Q73

Reduction defects of unspecified limb

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 3 more specific codes instead:

  • Q73.0 Congenital absence of unspecified limb(s)
  • Q73.1 Phocomelia, unspecified limb(s)
  • Q73.8 Other reduction defects of unspecified limb(s)

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.
