Frequently asked questions

What is the CMS-HCC V28 model?

CMS-HCC V28 is the current Hierarchical Condition Category risk adjustment model that CMS uses for Medicare Advantage payment year 2026. Each category groups ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes and has published model and segment coefficients. Those coefficients are references, not a member total.

How many payment categories are in CMS-HCC V28?

The V28 model defines 115 payment HCCs. HCC Buddy lists every category that has at least one payable ICD-10-CM member code, with its member-code count, so you can open the exact category you are coding.

How is an HCC reference coefficient determined?

CMS publishes relative factors by model and enrollment segment, including community Medicaid and originally-disabled status and institutional segments. Open a category to see its source-labeled references. HCC Buddy member score and interaction output remain paused during source review.
