earthquake (X34)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above X36.0XXA

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of X36.0XXA, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on X36 — Avalanche, landslide and other earth movements

transport accident involving collision with avalanche or landslide not in motion (V01-V99)

Risk adjustment

X36.0XXA 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.
