Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
LHES requires documentation of T-cell clonality or abnormality; verify flow cytometry or genetic testing results are documented.
This is more specific than the unspecified HES code and should be used when lymphocytic involvement is confirmed.

What This Code Means

D72.111 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for lymphocytic variant hypereosinophilic syndrome [lhes]. A variant of hypereosinophilic syndrome where abnormal T lymphocytes are the primary driver of elevated eosinophil levels. D72.111 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism (d50-d89), within the section covering other disorders of blood and blood-forming organs (d70-d77).

D72.111 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but the current payload does not show a mapping under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.

LHES requires documentation of T-cell clonality or abnormality; verify flow cytometry or genetic testing results are documented.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for D72.111 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • LHES requires documentation of T-cell clonality or abnormality; verify flow cytometry or genetic testing results are documented.
  • This is more specific than the unspecified HES code and should be used when lymphocytic involvement is confirmed.

Code Also

  • , if applicable, any associated lymphocytic neoplastic disorder
