Other codes that can never be billed with H34

G45Transient cerebral ischemic attacks and related syndromes
H53.12Transient visual loss

Risk adjustment

H34 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 H34

5 child codes. Green means billable.
