neonatal (disseminated) listeriosis (P37.2)

Other codes that can never be billed with A32.8

I68.2Cerebral arteritis in other diseases classified elsewhere
A05Other bacterial foodborne intoxications, not elsewhere classified

Risk adjustment

A32.8 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.
