Every ICD-10-CM code in this range and the PDGM clinical group CMS assigns to it, read from the CMS grouper crosswalk v07.1.26.
Codes in range
46
No clinical group
46
A period cannot be grouped from these.
Barred as primary

CMS rejects these in the primary position.
Where these codes group
None of the 46 codes in B95-B97 is assigned a PDGM clinical group. A 30-day period cannot be grouped from any of them, so none can hold the primary position on a home health claim.
