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.
- ulcerative proctitis (K51.2)
Other codes that can never be billed with K62.8
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at K62.8. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading K62.8 alone.

K62.8 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.
Code to one of these instead K62.8
