M63.831 — Disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere, right forearm

Risk adjustment

M63.831 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

M63.831 is named in 20 Medicare coverage policies — 14 listing it as supporting medical necessity, and 6 listing it as NOT covered. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
