R22.2

R22.2 — Localized swelling, mass and lump, trunk

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

R22.2 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for localized swelling, mass and lump, trunk. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

Risk adjustment

R22.2 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.

Medicare coverage

R22.2 is named in 14 Medicare coverage policies — 14 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
