O26.87Cervical shortening
O35Maternal care for known or suspected fetal abnormality and damage
O36Maternal care for other fetal problems

Z03.7 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.

Code to one of these instead Z03.7
