- D
- subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
- G
- subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing

- P
- subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
- S

Risk adjustment
S89.302 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.
