These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- Chédiak (-Steinbrinck)-Higashi syndrome (E70.330)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Alder (granulation) (granulocyte) anomaly

- Hereditary leukocytic hyposegmentation
- Hereditary leukomelanopathy

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above D72.0
A category’s note binds every code beneath it.
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above D72.0
Not part of this code, but both may be coded when both are present.
Risk adjustment
D72.0 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:
- HCC 115 Specified Immunodeficiencies and White Blood Cell Disorders0.565 RAF
Coefficient shown for the Community Non-dual Aged segment. A higher HCC in the same hierarchy will suppress this one, so capturing it does not always add score. Look up the whole chart to see which of its HCCs the hierarchy would zero.
Medicare coverage
D72.0 is named in 3 Medicare coverage policies: 3 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which one applies depends on your Medicare contractor.
