Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.POA Exempt Code
The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires medical coders to indicate whether or not a condition was present at the time of admission, in order to properly assign MS-DRG codes. This "Present On Admission" (POA) indicator is recorded on CMS form 4010A.Q74.3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
POA Indicators on CMS form 4010A are as follows:
Indicator | Meaning | CMS Will Pay CC/MCC DRG Costs |
---|---|---|
Y | Diagnosis was present at time of inpatient admission | Yes |
N | Diagnosis was not present at time of inpatient admission | No |
U | Documentation insufficient to determine if the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. | No |
W | Clinically undetermined. Provider unable to clinically determine whether the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. | Yes |

The ICD code Q743 is used to code Arthrogryposis
Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), or simply arthrogryposis, describes congenital joint contractures in two or more areas of the body. It derives its name from Greek, literally meaning "curving of joints" (arthron, "joint"; grȳpōsis, late Latin form of late Greek grūpōsis, "hooking"). Children born with one or more joint contractures have abnormal fibrosis of the muscle tissue causing muscle shortening, and therefore are unable to perform passive extension and flexion in the affected joint or joints. AMC has been divided into three groups: amyoplasia, distal arthrogryposis, and syndromic. Amyoplasia is characterized by severe joint contractures and muscle weakness. Distal arthrogryposis mainly involves the hands and feet. Types of arthrogryposis with a primary neurological or muscle disease belong to the syndromic group.
