Other codes that can never be billed with P22
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at P22. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading P22 alone.

- R06Abnormalities of breathing
- R06.0Dyspnea
- R06.82Tachypnea, not elsewhere classified

- J80Acute respiratory distress syndrome
- J96Respiratory failure, not elsewhere classified

P22 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 P22
4 child codes. Green means billable.
