SCN2A-related neurodevelopmental disorder

A developmental disorder caused by mutations in the SCN2A gene, which affects how nerve cells communicate and can lead to developmental delays, intellectual disability, or seizures.

Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Ensure genetic testing confirming SCN2A pathogenic variant is documented in the medical record
Code any associated manifestations (seizures, developmental delay) with additional codes

Last updated: FY2026 ICD-10-CM Apr update, Apr 1, 2026 through Sep 30, 2026. CMS-HCC V28 is 100% phased in for payment year 2026.

Is QA0.0101 an HCC code?

No. QA0.0101 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to any HCC category in V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC.

What This Code Means

QA0.0101 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for scn2a-related neurodevelopmental disorder. A developmental disorder caused by mutations in the SCN2A gene, which affects how nerve cells communicate and can lead to developmental delays, intellectual disability, or seizures. QA0.0101 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (q00-qa0), within the section covering genetic disorders, not elsewhere classified (qa0).

QA0.0101 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.

Ensure genetic testing confirming SCN2A pathogenic variant is documented in the medical record.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for QA0.0101 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Ensure genetic testing confirming SCN2A pathogenic variant is documented in the medical record
  • Code any associated manifestations (seizures, developmental delay) with additional codes
