Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

foreign body granuloma of skin and subcutaneous tissue (L92.3)

Add a secondary code to capture the detail described below.

Other codes that can never be billed with M60.2

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at M60.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading M60.2 alone.

Risk adjustment

M60.2 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 M60.2

9 child codes. Green means billable.
