This code requires a 7th character

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category V93

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.

Other codes that can never be billed with V93.0

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V93.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V93.0 alone.

Risk adjustment

V93.0 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 to one of these instead V93.0

6 child codes. Green means billable.
