F98.2 — Other feeding disorders of infancy and childhood
F98.2 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other feeding disorders of infancy and childhood. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with F98.2
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at F98.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading F98.2 alone.
Risk adjustment
F98.2 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.

Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to F98.2.
