Other codes that can never be billed with T60

- T57.1Toxic effect of phosphorus and its compounds
Risk adjustment
T60 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.
