Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- encounter for surveillance of contraceptives (Z30.4-)
Other codes that can never be billed with Z30.01
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Z30.01. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Z30.01 alone.
- Z92.0Personal history of contraception
Risk adjustment
Z30.01 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.
Code history
Z30.01 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
