Z28.0 — Immunization not carried out because of contraindication
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
Z28.0 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for immunization not carried out because of contraindication. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Risk adjustment
Z28.0 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.
