- code, if applicable, to identify chronic total occlusion of artery of extremity (I70.92)
Risk adjustment
I70.6 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 I70.6
