Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

- Osteochondrosis (juvenile) of talus [Diaz]

Risk adjustment
M92.6 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.
