Other codes that can never be billed with O9A.3

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at O9A.3. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading O9A.3 alone.

T76Adult and child abuse, neglect and other maltreatment, suspected

Risk adjustment

O9A.3 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 O9A.3
