Other codes that can never be billed with E84
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at E84. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading E84 alone.
- P76.0Meconium plug syndrome
- P78Other perinatal digestive system disorders
- Q33.0Congenital cystic lung
- Q41Congenital absence, atresia and stenosis of small intestine
- Q45.3Other congenital malformations of pancreas and pancreatic duct
- J99Respiratory disorders in diseases classified elsewhere
- K56Paralytic ileus and intestinal obstruction without hernia
Risk adjustment
E84 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Code to one of these instead E84
