Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Encounter for examination of eyes and vision NOS
Other codes that can never be billed with Z01.00
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Z01.00. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Z01.00 alone.
- Z01.02Encounter for examination of eyes and vision following failed vision screening
Risk adjustment
Z01.00 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.
