M31 — Other necrotizing vasculopathies
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
M31 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other necrotizing vasculopathies. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
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.
- L95Vasculitis limited to skin, not elsewhere classified
- M30Polyarteritis nodosa and related conditions
- M35.3Polymyalgia rheumatica
- N08Glomerular disorders in diseases classified elsewhere
- D69Purpura and other hemorrhagic conditions
- D68.5Primary thrombophilia
- I77.6Arteritis, unspecified
- J99Respiratory disorders in diseases classified elsewhere
Risk adjustment
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
