What This Code Means

R75 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for inconclusive laboratory evidence of human immunodeficiency virus [hiv]. HIV test results are unclear or inconclusive, meaning the test cannot definitively confirm or rule out HIV infection at this time. R75 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (r00-r99), within the section covering abnormal findings on examination of blood, without diagnosis (r70-r79).

R75 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but no current CMS-HCC V28 community payment mapping is shown, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.

This code indicates indeterminate or inconclusive results - follow-up testing is typically required.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for R75 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
