Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

Other codes that can never be billed with D40.8
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at D40.8. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading D40.8 alone.

Risk adjustment
D40.8 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.
Medicare coverage
D40.8 is named in 15 Medicare coverage policies — 15 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
