Q93.2
Q93.2 — Chromosome replaced with ring, dicentric or isochromosome
Billable / specific codeICD-10-CMPOA exempt
Q93.2 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for chromosome replaced with ring, dicentric or isochromosome. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Risk adjustment
Q93.2 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.
