Wiki Can any ICD10 codes not be billed as primary Dx?

[jharo1733]

I am currently working with an insurance company on their ICD 9 to ICD 10 crosswalk validation. I was wondering since with ICD 9 there are certain codes that should never be billed as primary such as the "E" codes, is there similar instances with ICD 10? Thank you.

Yes you will need to read the guidelines as well as the individual conventions for the codes in the code book.

As stated above you wil need to verify with the guidelines but iI believe code set B95-B98 may not be used as primary DX
