K08 — Other disorders of teeth and supporting structures

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

K08 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other disorders of teeth and supporting structures. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

dentofacial anomalies [including malocclusion] (M26.-)
disorders of jaw (M27.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with K08

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at K08. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading K08 alone.

R52Pain, unspecified
K00.0Anodontia
K08.1Complete loss of teeth
K08.4Partial loss of teeth

Risk adjustment

K08 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 K08

8 child codes. Green means billable.
