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.
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.
