greater saphenous vein NOS (S85.3)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above S75.202

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of S75.202, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

injury of blood vessels at lower leg level (S85.-)

Risk adjustment

S75.202 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.
