X02

Non-Billable (Header)

Exposure to controlled fire in building or structure

Last updated: FY2026 ICD-10-CM (Oct 1, 2025 – Sep 30, 2026) | CMS-HCC V28 (100% phase-in, PY2026)

What This Code Means

X02 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for exposure to controlled fire in building or structure. X02 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for external causes of morbidity (v00-y99), within the section covering exposure to smoke, fire and flames (x00-x08).

Header codes like X02 cannot be reported on claims directly — they organize child codes that share clinical context but the actual diagnosis must be coded to the highest level of specificity supported by the documentation. Coders should look at X02's child codes and select the one that matches the patient's documented presentation, since payers reject header codes submitted as the primary diagnosis. For risk adjustment workflows, header codes never contribute to a Medicare Advantage member's RAF score on their own; only billable child codes that happen to map to a payment HCC affect risk-adjusted plan payments.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for X02 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
