R57Shock, not elsewhere classified

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

R57 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for shock, not elsewhere classified. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • anaphylactic shock NOS (T78.2)
  • anaphylactic reaction or shock due to adverse food reaction (T78.0-)
  • anaphylactic shock due to adverse effect of correct drug or medicament properly administered (T88.6)
  • anaphylactic shock due to serum (T80.5-)
  • electric shock (T75.4)
  • obstetric shock (O75.1)
  • postprocedural shock (T81.1-)
  • psychic shock (F43.0)
  • shock complicating or following ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.3)
  • shock due to anesthesia (T88.2)
  • shock due to lightning (T75.01)
  • traumatic shock (T79.4)
  • toxic shock syndrome (A48.3)

Other codes that can never be billed with R57

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at R57. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading R57 alone.

  • R55Syncope and collapse
  • A48.3Toxic shock syndrome
  • I95Hypotension
  • T79.4Traumatic shock
  • T79.4XXATraumatic shock, initial encounter
  • T79.4XXDTraumatic shock, subsequent encounter
  • T79.4XXSTraumatic shock, sequela

Risk adjustment

R57 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 R57

4 child codes. Green means billable.
