Billable / specific codeICD-10-CMPOA exempt

7th character "A" — initial encounter
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category V81
- A
- initial encounter
- D
- subsequent encounter
- S
- sequela
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

Risk adjustment
V81.0XXA 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.
