- G
- subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
- K
- subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
- P
- subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
- S
- sequela
Risk adjustment
M84.353 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.
