Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- PRES
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above I67.83
These are not written on I67.83, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing I67.83 with anything listed here is a denial.
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above I67.83
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of I67.83, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Risk adjustment
I67.83 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
I67.83 is named in 8 Medicare coverage policies — 8 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
