No clinical group

A period cannot be grouped from these.

Barred as primary

CMS rejects these in the primary position.

Where these codes group

None of the 60 codes in X10-X19 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.

Code families in X10-X19

One page per three-character family: every code in it, whether it can lead a claim, its clinical group and comorbidity subgroup.
