G11 — Hereditary ataxia
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
G11 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for hereditary ataxia. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with G11
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at G11. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading G11 alone.
Risk adjustment
G11 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 G11
