K08.0 — Exfoliation of teeth due to systemic causes
K08.0 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for exfoliation of teeth due to systemic causes. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Code also
Both codes may be needed to describe the encounter fully. Sequencing depends on the reason for the visit.
- underlying systemic condition
Other codes that can never be billed with K08.0
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at K08.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading K08.0 alone.
- K08.1Complete loss of teeth
Risk adjustment
K08.0 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.
How K08.0 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to K08.0.
