B10 — Other human herpesviruses
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
B10 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other human herpesviruses. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

Risk adjustment
B10 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 B10
2 child codes. Green means billable.
