Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

K06 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other disorders of gingiva and edentulous alveolar ridge. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

acute gingivitis (K05.0)
atrophy of edentulous alveolar ridge (K08.2)
chronic gingivitis (K05.1)
gingivitis NOS (K05.1)

Other codes that can never be billed with K06

M27.1Giant cell granuloma, central

Risk adjustment

K06 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 K06

6 child codes. Green means billable.
