Excludes2 inherited from the categories above S92.155A
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of S92.155A, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Other codes that can never be billed with S92.155A
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at S92.155A. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading S92.155A alone.
Risk adjustment
S92.155A 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
S92.155A 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.
