Other codes that can never be billed with F25.0
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at F25.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading F25.0 alone.
- F20Schizophrenia
Risk adjustment
F25.0 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to these categories:
- HCC 151 Schizophrenia0.511 RAF
- HCC 151 Schizophrenia0.511 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.
