Excludes1 inherited from the categories above T52.8X

These are not written on T52.8X, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing T52.8X with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on T52 — Toxic effect of organic solvents

halogen derivatives of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons (T53.-)

Risk adjustment

T52.8X 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 history

T52.8X has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.

Code to one of these instead T52.8X
