Excludes1 inherited from the categories above V93.39XS
These are not written on V93.39XS, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing V93.39XS with anything listed here is a denial.
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above V93.39XS
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of V93.39XS, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Other codes that can never be billed with V93.39XS
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V93.39XS. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V93.39XS alone.

Risk adjustment
V93.39XS 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
V93.39XS has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
