- Q02 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursem*nt purposes.
- The 2024 edition of ICD-10-CM Q02 became effective on October 1, 2023.
- This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Q02 - other international versions of ICD-10 Q02 may differ.
Code First
Code First Help
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation. In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere." Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code. "In diseases classified elsewhere" codes are never permitted to be used as first listed or principle diagnosis codes. They must be used in conjunction with an underlying condition code and they must be listed following the underlying condition.

Type 1 Excludes
Type 1 Excludes Help
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as Q02. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

Clinical Information
- A congenital abnormality in which the cerebrum is underdeveloped, the fontanels close prematurely, and, as a result, the head is small. (desk reference for neuroscience, 2nd ed.)
- A congenital or acquired developmental disorder in which the circumference of the head is smaller than normal for the person's age and sex. It is the result of brain developmental delay.
- Abnormal smallness of the brain.
- Smallness of the head produced by incomplete development of the brain, often associated with below normal mental and cognitive development.
Present On Admission POA Help "Present On Admission" is defined as present at the time the order for inpatient admission occurs — conditions that develop during an outpatient encounter, including emergency department, observation, or outpatient surgery, are considered POA.
- Q02 is considered exempt from POA reporting.
