X11.1 — Contact with running hot water
X11.1 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for contact with running hot water. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below. This code also requires a 7th character before it is complete.

Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Contact with hot water running out of hose
- Contact with hot water running out of tap
Other codes that can never be billed with X11.1
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at X11.1. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading X11.1 alone.
Risk adjustment
X11.1 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.
How X11.1 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to X11.1.
- Contact›with›hot›tap-water›running
- Contact›with›hot›water›running
