What This Code Means

B76.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for ancylostomiasis. A parasitic infection caused by Ancylostoma hookworms that attach to the small intestine and cause anemia and malnutrition. B76.0 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for certain infectious and parasitic diseases (a00-b99), within the section covering helminthiases (b65-b83).

B76.0 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.

Ancylostomiasis is commonly associated with iron-deficiency anemia; check for anemia codes to report together.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for B76.0 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips
