M96.A
M96.A — Fracture of ribs, sternum and thorax associated with compression of the chest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
M96.A is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for fracture of ribs, sternum and thorax associated with compression of the chest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Risk adjustment
M96.A 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 M96.A
