Q67.4 vs Q75
Q67.4 (Other congenital deformities of skull, face and jaw) compared with Q75 (Other congenital malformations of skull and face bones), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.
Can these codes be reported together?
No — do not report together. Q75 carries an Excludes1 note covering Q67.4: “musculoskeletal deformities of head and face (Q67.0-Q67.4)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
