Query for all the Peds coders out there. Our docs often see kids with positional plagiocephaly. ICD-9 classifies plagiocephaly with only the 754.0 code, which is congenital. My argument is that this is NOT a congenital condition, rather an acquired one, so therefore, I use the 738.19 for "other specified deformity of head". How are others treating this condition? Am curious to know if I'm way outside the curve. Thanks!
