Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- personal history of venous embolism and thrombosis (Z86.718)
Use additional code
Add a secondary code to capture the detail described below.
- code, if applicable, for associated long-term (current) use of anticoagulants (Z79.01)

I82.7 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 I82.7
