Other codes that can never be billed with E72.01
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at E72.01. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading E72.01 alone.
- E72.1Disorders of sulfur-bearing amino-acid metabolism
Risk adjustment
E72.01 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.
