Excludes1 inherited from the categories above I69.098
These are not written on I69.098, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing I69.098 with anything listed here is a denial.
Written on I69 — Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease
Other codes that can never be billed with I69.098
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at I69.098. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading I69.098 alone.
- Z86.73Personal history of transient ischemic attack (TIA), and cerebral infarction without residual deficits
Risk adjustment
I69.098 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
I69.098 is named in 5 Medicare coverage policies — 5 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
