Other codes that can never be billed with N48

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at N48. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading N48 alone.

  • N47.6Balanoposthitis
  • N48.1Balanitis
  • N48.2Other inflammatory disorders of penis
  • N49Inflammatory disorders of male genital organs, not elsewhere classified
  • Q55.63Congenital torsion of penis
  • Q55.64Hidden penis

Risk adjustment

N48 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 N48

8 child codes. Green means billable.
