Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Verify that the hypereosinophilia doesn't meet criteria for other specific conditions like acute leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, or other defined syndromes before assigning this 'other' code
Review the clinical documentation for organ involvement (cardiac, pulmonary, neurologic, etc.) as these may require additional codes to fully capture the patient's condition

What This Code Means

D72.118 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other hypereosinophilic syndrome. This condition involves an abnormally high number of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the body that doesn't fit into other specific eosinophil-related disorders. It can cause inflammation and damage to various organs and tissues. D72.118 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).

D72.118 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.

Verify that the hypereosinophilia doesn't meet criteria for other specific conditions like acute leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, or other defined syndromes before assigning this 'other' code.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for D72.118 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify that the hypereosinophilia doesn't meet criteria for other specific conditions like acute leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, or other defined syndromes before assigning this 'other' code
  • •Review the clinical documentation for organ involvement (cardiac, pulmonary, neurologic, etc.) as these may require additional codes to fully capture the patient's condition
