Inclusion terms

Other codes that can never be billed with Q61.1

- Q61.4Renal dysplasia
Risk adjustment
Q61.1 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 Q61.1
