Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of F11.29, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Risk adjustment
F11.29 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:
- HCC 137 Drug Use Disorder, Moderate/Severe, or Drug Use with Non-Psychotic Complications0.424 RAF
