Excludes2 inherited from the categories above I83.899
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of I83.899, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Other codes that can never be billed with I83.899
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at I83.899. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading I83.899 alone.

Risk adjustment
I83.899 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.
