  • Primary (hereditary) hemochromatosis

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above E83.110

These are not written on E83.110, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing E83.110 with anything listed here is a denial.

Other codes that can never be billed with E83.110

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at E83.110. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading E83.110 alone.

  • E61Deficiency of other nutrient elements
  • K74Fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver
  • R79.0Abnormal level of blood mineral

Risk adjustment

E83.110 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

E83.110 is named in 6 Medicare coverage policies 6 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
