K91.83 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for postprocedural hepatorenal syndrome. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Other codes that can never be billed with K91.83
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at K91.83. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading K91.83 alone.
- K76.7Hepatorenal syndrome
Risk adjustment
K91.83 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
K91.83 is named in 5 Medicare coverage policies — 5 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
