What This Code Means
F17.291 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for nicotine dependence, other tobacco product, in remission. A person was dependent on a tobacco product other than cigarettes or chewing tobacco but is now in recovery and has stopped using it. F17.291 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders (f01-f99), within the section covering mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use (f10-f19).
F17.291 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
