What is ICD-10 code D81.30?

D81.30 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Adenosine deaminase deficiency, unspecified. A deficiency of the enzyme adenosine deaminase that helps break down harmful substances, but the specific severity or type is not specified. D81.30 is a billable code, meaning it can be reported on a claim as a primary or secondary diagnosis when supported by documentation. D81.30 is part of the FY2026 ICD-10-CM code set published by the CMS National Center for Health Statistics and used on Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial claims in the United States.

Yes. D81.30 is a billable ICD-10-CM code that can be reported on professional and institutional claims as a primary or secondary diagnosis when the provider documentation supports the specific condition described. Billable codes in ICD-10-CM are coded to the highest level of specificity available for the documented diagnosis. D81.30 is current for fiscal year 2026 and remains in the active CMS ICD-10-CM code set published by the National Center for Health Statistics.

Which HCC does D81.30 map to under V28?

D81.30 maps to CMS-HCC V28 HCC 114 (Common Variable and Combined Immunodeficiencies). The category numbers, labels, and conditions come from the CMS-HCC V28 model file for payment year 2026.

Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance

Documentation must include enzyme activity levels confirming adenosine deaminase deficiency, the clinical severity of immune impairment, lymphocyte subset analysis, and whether the condition meets criteria for SCID or presents with a milder phenotype.

Query the provider to determine if the deficiency causes SCID (D81.31) or is a partial/delayed-onset form (D81.39) for more specific coding.

MEAT Support

HCC Buddy guidance

Query the provider to determine if the deficiency causes SCID (D81.31) or is a partial/delayed-onset form (D81.39) for more specific coding.

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance

This unspecified code should prompt a provider query to determine severity and assign D81.31 (SCID-causing) or D81.39 (other forms).

Do not confuse adenosine deaminase 1 deficiency (which causes classic immunodeficiency) with adenosine deaminase 2 deficiency (D81.32), which causes vasculitis and inflammatory disease.

Enzyme replacement therapy with pegademase supports D81.31 rather than this unspecified code.

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance

D81.31 (severe combined immunodeficiency due to adenosine deaminase deficiency, the most severe form), D81.32 (adenosine deaminase 2 deficiency, a distinct enzyme with different clinical features), D81.39 (other adenosine deaminase deficiency for partial or delayed-onset forms), D81.5 (purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency, a different purine metabolism enzyme).

Is D81.30 an HCC code?

Yes. D81.30 (Adenosine deaminase deficiency, unspecified) maps to HCC 114, Common Variable and Combined Immunodeficiencies under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 2.262. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes. It is billable for payment year 2026.

Coder answer: D81.30 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 114, Common Variable and Combined Immunodeficiencies. Open it in the Code Book for the tabular path, RAF, and MEAT checklist.

These are source-labeled model coefficients, not member totals. A category may still be removed by hierarchy or model cleanup rules. Weights are not directly comparable across models: CMS-HCC V28 and V24 use Community, Non-Dual, Aged; ESRD uses the dialysis continuing-enrollee model; RxHCC is the Part D continuing-enrollee, non-low-income, aged weight (a larger scale than CMS-HCC). ACA/HHS has no single weight — it varies by metal level. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains available for historical review.

For D81.30, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule.

MMonitor: signs, symptoms, disease progression, or lab trending documented in the note
EEvaluate: test results, medication response, or physical findings reviewed by the provider
AAssess: explicit mention in the assessment or plan with acknowledgment of status
TTreat: medication, referral, procedure, therapy, or counseling tied to the diagnosis

What This Code Means

D81.30 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for adenosine deaminase deficiency, unspecified. A deficiency of the enzyme adenosine deaminase that helps break down harmful substances, but the specific severity or type is not specified. D81.30 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism (d50-d89), within the section covering certain disorders involving the immune mechanism (d80-d89).

Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, D81.30 maps to Common Variable and Combined Immunodeficiencies (HCC 114) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 2.262. No V24 mapping is shown for D81.30; use the applicable model and payment year when reviewing the V28 mapping. For CY2026 non-PACE Medicare Advantage, CMS uses 100% of the 2024 CMS-HCC model (V28). PACE uses a separate model blend. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes.

Use only when documentation does not specify whether this causes SCID or other adenosine deaminase deficiency. For D81.30, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule. When documentation is ambiguous, coders should issue a provider query rather than assume the highest-specificity variant.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for D81.30 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

•Use only when documentation does not specify whether this causes SCID or other adenosine deaminase deficiency
•Review enzyme level testing to determine if more specific coding is appropriate

Clinical Significance

Adenosine deaminase deficiency, unspecified, indicates a documented deficiency of the adenosine deaminase enzyme without specification of whether it causes severe combined immunodeficiency or a milder immunologic phenotype. Adenosine deaminase is critical for purine metabolism, and its deficiency leads to accumulation of toxic metabolites that selectively destroy lymphocytes.

Documentation Requirements

✓Documentation must include enzyme activity levels confirming adenosine deaminase deficiency, the clinical severity of immune impairment, lymphocyte subset analysis, and whether the condition meets criteria for SCID or presents with a milder phenotype.
✓Query the provider to determine if the deficiency causes SCID (D81.31) or is a partial/delayed-onset form (D81.39) for more specific coding.

Commonly Confused Codes

•D81.31 (severe combined immunodeficiency due to adenosine deaminase deficiency, the most severe form), D81.32 (adenosine deaminase 2 deficiency, a distinct enzyme with different clinical features), D81.39 (other adenosine deaminase deficiency for partial or delayed-onset forms), D81.5 (purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency, a different purine metabolism enzyme).
