Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

disruption of (current) cesarean delivery wound (O90.0)
laceration of uterus, NEC (O71.81)

Other codes that can never be billed with O71.0

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at O71.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading O71.0 alone.

Risk adjustment

O71.0 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.

Code to one of these instead O71.0

3 child codes. Green means billable.
