Other codes that can never be billed with M31

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at M31. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading M31 alone.

M31 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 M31

10 child codes. Green means billable.
