Other codes that can never be billed with X74.01
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at X74.01. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading X74.01 alone.
- X73Intentional self-harm by rifle, shotgun and larger firearm discharge
Risk adjustment
X74.01 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.
