Excludes1 inherited from the categories above O26.71
These are not written on O26.71, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing O26.71 with anything listed here is a denial.
Other codes that can never be billed with O26.71
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at O26.71. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading O26.71 alone.

Risk adjustment
O26.71 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 history
O26.71 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
