H95
H95 — Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of ear and mastoid process, not elsewhere classified
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
H95 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of ear and mastoid process, not elsewhere classified. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with H95
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at H95. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading H95 alone.
Risk adjustment
H95 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.
Code to one of these instead H95
