Excludes1 — never code together

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

herpesviral [herpes simplex] ocular disease (B00.5)
ocular zoster (B02.3)

Other codes that can never be billed with B30

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at B30. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading B30 alone.

H10.23Serous conjunctivitis, except viral

Risk adjustment

B30 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 history

B30 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.

Code to one of these instead B30

6 child codes. Green means billable.
