Personal history of failed moderate sedation

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

What This Code Means

Coding Tips

  • Document the specific procedure where sedation failed and what alternative was used
  • This alerts future providers to use different sedation approaches or deeper anesthesia for procedures

Excludes 2 — Not included here, may code separately

  • failed moderate sedation during procedure (T88.52)
