R77 — Other abnormalities of plasma proteins
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
R77 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other abnormalities of plasma proteins. 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.
- disorders of plasma-protein metabolism (E88.0-)
Other codes that can never be billed with R77
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at R77. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading R77 alone.
- D89Other disorders involving the immune mechanism, not elsewhere classified
Risk adjustment
R77 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 R77
5 child codes. Green means billable.
