2025 ICD-10-CM code Q89.2
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Revision Date: N/A Deletion Date: N/A Congenital malformations - Other congenital malformations Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99) Feed
Congenital malformations of other endocrine glands, including the parathyroid or thyroid gland, persistent thyroglossal duct, or thyroglossal cyst.
Medical necessity is established by the presence of a confirmed congenital malformation of an endocrine gland that requires diagnostic evaluation, monitoring, or surgical intervention for symptom management or to prevent complications. The specific clinical findings will be evaluated by the payer based on guidelines.
Diagnosis and management of congenital endocrine gland malformations. This may involve physical examination, imaging studies (ultrasound, CT scan), hormone level testing, and surgical intervention if necessary.
- Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- Q89 Other congenital malformations, not elsewhere classified
In simple words: This code describes birth defects affecting glands in the body that produce hormones.These glands could be the thyroid or parathyroid, and the defect might be a cyst or an improperly formed duct.
Q89.2 is an ICD-10-CM code that signifies congenital malformations of endocrine glands other than the adrenal and spleen.This includes conditions such as congenital malformations of the parathyroid or thyroid gland, the persistence of a thyroglossal duct, and thyroglossal cysts.It excludes congenital goiter (E03.0) and congenital hypothyroidism (E03.1).
Example 1: A newborn presents with a palpable mass in the neck consistent with a thyroglossal duct cyst.Q89.2 is used to code this congenital anomaly., A child is diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism, and imaging reveals an underdeveloped parathyroid gland. Q89.2 is used to code the congenital parathyroid gland malformation., An infant undergoes surgery to remove a thyroglossal cyst. Q89.2 is assigned to code the congenital malformation that necessitated the procedure.
Complete history and physical examination, imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan) to confirm the diagnosis, laboratory tests (e.g., hormone levels) as clinically indicated, operative reports and pathology findings if surgery is performed.
** This code encompasses a variety of congenital endocrine gland malformations.Precise documentation is crucial for accurate coding.
