Is B34.0 an HCC code?
No. B34.0 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to any HCC category in V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC.
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
B34.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for adenovirus infection, unspecified. Adenovirus infection is a viral illness caused by adenoviruses that can affect the respiratory system, eyes, or gastrointestinal tract. B34.0 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for certain infectious and parasitic diseases (a00-b99), within the section covering other viral diseases (b25-b34).
B34.0 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
Use this unspecified code when the site of infection is not documented; specify the affected site if known.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for B34.0 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Use this unspecified code when the site of infection is not documented; specify the affected site if known
- •Document symptoms and affected body systems to guide clinical management
