- J61Pneumoconiosis due to asbestos and other mineral fibers

J92 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 J92
2 child codes. Green means billable.
