Other codes that can never be billed with O89.0
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at O89.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading O89.0 alone.
- J95.4Chemical pneumonitis due to anesthesia
- T41Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of anesthetics and therapeutic gases
- T88.2Shock due to anesthesia

Risk adjustment
O89.0 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 history
O89.0 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
