Asplenia (congenital)

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Asplenia is a congenital condition where a person is born without a spleen, increasing susceptibility to serious infections.

Coding Tips

•Asplenia significantly increases infection risk; ensure appropriate preventive care coding and vaccination status documentation
•Distinguish from acquired asplenia (post-surgical removal) which uses different coding
