Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

- hypersensitivity angiitis (M31.0)
- lupus panniculitis (L93.2)

- panniculitis of neck and back (M54.0-)
- polyarteritis nodosa (M30.0)
- relapsing panniculitis (M35.6)
- rheumatoid vasculitis (M05.2)
- serum sickness (T80.6-)
- urticaria (L50.-)
- Wegener's granulomatosis (M31.3-)
Risk adjustment
L95 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 L95
4 child codes. Green means billable.
