What cannot be coded together with Q82.1?

Q82.1

Q82.1 — Xeroderma pigmentosum

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CMPOA exempt

Q82.1 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for xeroderma pigmentosum. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above Q82.1

These are not written on Q82.1, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing Q82.1 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on Q82 — Other congenital malformations of skin

acrodermatitis enteropathica (E83.2)
congenital erythropoietic porphyria (E80.0)
pilonidal cyst or sinus (L05.-)
Sturge-Weber (-Dimitri) syndrome (Q85.89)

Other codes that can never be billed with Q82.1

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Q82.1. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Q82.1 alone.

E79Disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism

Risk adjustment

Q82.1 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.

Medicare coverage

Q82.1 is named in 2 Medicare coverage policies — 2 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
