K75.3 — Granulomatous hepatitis, not elsewhere classified
K75.3 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for granulomatous hepatitis, not elsewhere classified. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Other codes that can never be billed with K75.3
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at K75.3. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading K75.3 alone.

Risk adjustment
K75.3 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.
Medicare coverage
K75.3 is named in 3 Medicare coverage policies — 3 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
