R14.1

R14.1 — Gas pain

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above R14.1

psychogenic aerophagy (F45.8)

Other codes that can never be billed with R14.1

Risk adjustment

R14.1 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

R14.1 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.
