Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
- exposure to uncontrolled fire in building or structure (X00.-)
- exposure to uncontrolled fire, not in building or structure (X01.-)
- exposure to controlled fire in building or structure (X02.-)
- exposure to controlled fire, not in building or structure (X03.-)
- exposure to ignition of highly flammable materials (X04.-)
Risk adjustment
X06 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 X06
4 child codes. Green means billable.
