What This Code Means
F17.299 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for nicotine dependence, other tobacco product, with unspecified nicotine-induced disorders. A person is dependent on a tobacco product other than cigarettes or chewing tobacco and has unspecified nicotine-related health problems. F17.299 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).
F17.299 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.
This is a less specific code; attempt to clarify the exact nicotine-induced disorder with the provider for more precise coding.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for F17.299 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
