K00.2

K00.2 — Abnormalities of size and form of teeth

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

K00.2 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for abnormalities of size and form of teeth. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Risk adjustment

K00.2 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.
