Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

Y82.9 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for unspecified medical devices associated with adverse incidents. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Y82.9 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.
