Includes

Other codes that can never be billed with O89

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at O89. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading O89 alone.

T41Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of anesthetics and therapeutic gases
G93.1Anoxic brain damage, not elsewhere classified
J95.4Chemical pneumonitis due to anesthesia
T88.2Shock due to anesthesia
T88.2XXAShock due to anesthesia, initial encounter
T88.2XXDShock due to anesthesia, subsequent encounter
T88.2XXSShock due to anesthesia, sequela

Risk adjustment

O89 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 O89

9 child codes. Green means billable.
