Excludes2 inherited from the categories above S02.82XD
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of S02.82XD, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Other codes that can never be billed with S02.82XD
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at S02.82XD. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading S02.82XD alone.
- S01Open wound of head
Risk adjustment
S02.82XD 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
S02.82XD is named in 3 Medicare coverage policies — 3 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
