Personal history of oth (corrected) congenital malformations

This code indicates that a patient has a past medical history of a congenital anomaly that has been corrected or resolved, and is not currently active. It applies to birth defects that do not have a more specific "personal history of" code available.

Use this code when documenting a patient's history of a congenital malformation that is no longer present or causing symptoms due to successful treatment (e.g., surgical repair). This includes conditions like a successfully repaired cleft lip or palate, or a corrected congenital heart defect, where the patient is now asymptomatic from that specific condition.

• Only assign this code when the congenital malformation is no longer active and has been corrected.
• Do not use this code if the patient still has an active congenital malformation or ongoing sequelae from it; instead, code the active condition.
• Always search for a more specific "personal history of" code first before resorting to this "other" category.
