Other codes that can never be billed with N46.0
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at N46.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading N46.0 alone.
Risk adjustment
N46.0 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.
