Is C57.11 an HCC code?
Yes. C57.11 (Malignant neoplasm of right broad ligament) maps to HCC 22, Bladder, Colorectal, and Other Cancers under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 0.363. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes. It is billable for payment year 2026.
Coder answer: C57.11 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 22, Bladder, Colorectal, and Other Cancers. Open it in the Code Book for the tabular path, RAF, and MEAT checklist.

HCC Category Mapping
These are source-labeled model coefficients, not member totals. A category may still be removed by hierarchy or model cleanup rules. Weights are not directly comparable across models: CMS-HCC V28 and V24 use Community, Non-Dual, Aged; ESRD uses the dialysis continuing-enrollee model; RxHCC is the Part D continuing-enrollee, non-low-income, aged weight (a larger scale than CMS-HCC). ACA/HHS has no single weight — it varies by metal level. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains available for historical review.

MEAT review for C57.11
For C57.11, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule.
- MMonitor: signs, symptoms, disease progression, or lab trending documented in the note
- EEvaluate: test results, medication response, or physical findings reviewed by the provider
- AAssess: explicit mention in the assessment or plan with acknowledgment of status
- TTreat: medication, referral, procedure, therapy, or counseling tied to the diagnosis

What This Code Means
C57.11 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for malignant neoplasm of right broad ligament. Cancer that develops in the right broad ligament, the membrane that supports the uterus and reproductive organs on the right side. C57.11 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49), within the section covering malignant neoplasms of female genital organs (c51-c58).
Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, C57.11 maps to Bladder, Colorectal, and Other Cancers (HCC 22) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 0.363. No V24 mapping is shown for C57.11; use the applicable model and payment year when reviewing the V28 mapping. For CY2026 non-PACE Medicare Advantage, CMS uses 100% of the 2024 CMS-HCC model (V28). PACE uses a separate model blend. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes.
Confirm right side is explicitly documented in the medical record before assigning this code. For C57.11, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule. When documentation is ambiguous, coders should issue a provider query rather than assume the highest-specificity variant.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for C57.11 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Confirm right side is explicitly documented in the medical record before assigning this code
- •Distinguish from other uterine adnexa cancers; broad ligament is a specific anatomical location
Clinical Significance
Right broad ligament cancer is a rare gynecologic malignancy with specific laterality documentation. Capturing laterality is essential for surgical planning, radiation field mapping, and accurate risk adjustment coding. This specificity also supports recurrence monitoring and distinguishes primary from contralateral metastatic disease.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Explicit documentation of right-sided location in operative note, imaging, or pathology report
- ✓Pathology confirmation of malignancy with histologic type
- ✓Staging information (FIGO or TNM)
- ✓Whether primary or secondary malignancy
- ✓Current treatment status and plan
