Q62 — Congenital obstructive defects of renal pelvis and congenital malformations of ureter

- N13.4Hydroureter
Risk adjustment
Q62 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.
