Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • eating disorders (F50.-)
  • feeding problems of newborn (P92.-)
  • infant feeding disorder of nonorganic origin (F98.2-)

R63.3 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 R63.3
