J95.8
J95.8 — Other intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
J95.8 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with J95.8
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at J95.8. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading J95.8 alone.
Risk adjustment
J95.8 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.
