Inclusion terms

Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

  • Conditions classifiable to M00-M99

Z87.3 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.
