Can you please help me understand this, I work for a neurosurgeon's office and we were recently given a lower fee schedule due to having 26 % healthier pts compared to other neurosurgeons in our area( Idaho). We have since appealed and have received an exception due to not coding the comorbidities accurately. I am putting together an education session for the providers in our office and am now understanding that not all comorbidities give us credit for the risk adjustment score per patient. Can you please direct me to the correct appllicable HCC code list so we are coding correctly and getting the credit that we deserve for seeing such an unhealthy population?

We have received and found in research such contradicting information - Can you please help??

Thank you ,

Stephanie
 
It depends on the diagnosis codes being reported. Download the 2019 initial ICD-10 mappings from the CMS website (under Medicare Advantage Rates & Statistics > Risk Adjustors Items)
