ICD-10-CM Encoder with Built-In HCC Mapping
Every ICD-10 code. Every HCC. One search.
HCC Buddy is a medical coding platform that combines an ICD-10-CM encoder, HCC risk adjustment mapping, AI coding assistant, NPI lookup, and drug reference in one tab — built for risk adjustment coders and Medicare Advantage professionals.
Full Pro access for 14 days. No credit card. No strings.
How HCC Buddy Works
From code lookup to HCC capture in three steps. No separate tools, no switching tabs.
Search Any ICD-10-CM Code
Type a code, keyword, or clinical term into the search bar. HCC Buddy searches across 72,000+ codes and returns results instantly with clinical descriptions, Excludes notes, and coding guidelines.
See HCC Mappings Instantly
Every billable code shows its HCC category mapping under both the V24 and V28 models, RAF weight, clinical detail, parent-child hierarchy, and related codes. No separate crosswalk tool needed.
Code Smarter with AI
Ask Buddy about MEAT criteria, Excludes note conflicts, coding guidelines, or any HCC coding question. Get sourced answers in plain language, right alongside your code lookup.
Why Coders Choose HCC Buddy
Built from real coding workflow pain. Not a tech company's guess at what coders need.
Built by a Coder
Not a tech company guessing at healthcare. HCC Buddy was created by a certified medical coder and auditor who uses it every day.
70% of AI Coding Suspects Get Rejected
Enterprise AI tools promise to automate HCC coding. Providers reject most of their output. HCC Buddy gives you better tools, not more AI noise.

One Tab, Not Five
ICD-10 lookup, HCC crosswalk, NPI registry, drug reference, and AI assistant. All in one search bar. No more tab-switching between fragmented tools.
Zero PHI, Ever
HCC Buddy never stores, processes, or transmits Protected Health Information. Your searches are anonymous. Your compliance team will love it.
