Buddy Insight

Immunodeficiency with increased immunoglobulin M, also known as hyper-Immunoglobulin M syndrome, is a primary immunodeficiency caused by defective immunoglobulin class switching, resulting in elevated Immunoglobulin M but severely deficient Immunoglobulin G and Immunoglobulin A.

Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Documentation must include quantitative immunoglobulin levels showing elevated Immunoglobulin M with reduced Immunoglobulin G and Immunoglobulin A, genetic testing results if available (CD40 ligand or activation-induced cytidine deaminase mutations), clinical manifestations including infection history, neutropenia if present, and treatment including immunoglobulin replacement therapy and prophylactic antimicrobials.

Documentation must include quantitative immunoglobulin levels showing elevated Immunoglobulin M with reduced Immunoglobulin G and Immunoglobulin A, genetic testing results if available (CD40 ligand or activation-induced cytidine deaminase mutations), clinical manifestations including infection history, neutropenia if present, and treatment including immunoglobulin replacement therapy and prophylactic antimicrobials.

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance
The hallmark of this condition is the inverse pattern: HIGH Immunoglobulin M with LOW Immunoglobulin G and Immunoglobulin A. Do not confuse with D80.4 (selective Immunoglobulin M deficiency) which has the opposite immunoglobulin profile. Elevated Immunoglobulin M can also occur in chronic infections and autoimmune diseases
ensure the elevation is due to a class-switching defect rather than reactive polyclonal Immunoglobulin M elevation.

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance
D80.4 (selective Immunoglobulin M deficiency which has LOW Immunoglobulin M, the opposite pattern), D80.0 (hereditary hypogammaglobulinemia which has all immunoglobulins low), D81.2 (severe combined immunodeficiency with B-cell numbers preserved but different mechanism), D83.0 (common variable immunodeficiency with B-cell abnormalities, a different entity).

Is D80.5 an HCC code?

Yes. D80.5 (Immunodeficiency with increased immunoglobulin M [IgM]) maps to HCC 115, Specified Immunodeficiencies and White Blood Cell Disorders under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 0.565. 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: D80.5 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 115, Specified Immunodeficiencies and White Blood Cell Disorders. Open it in the Code Book for the tabular path, RAF, and MEAT checklist.

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 D80.5

For D80.5, 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

D80.5 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for immunodeficiency with increased immunoglobulin m [igm]. A condition where the body has abnormally high levels of IgM antibodies combined with deficiency of other antibody types. D80.5 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 certain disorders involving the immune mechanism (d80-d89).

Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, D80.5 maps to Specified Immunodeficiencies and White Blood Cell Disorders (HCC 115) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 0.565. No V24 mapping is shown for D80.5; 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.

This represents a specific immunodeficiency pattern with elevated IgM; document other deficient immunoglobulins. For D80.5, 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 D80.5 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • This represents a specific immunodeficiency pattern with elevated IgM; document other deficient immunoglobulins
  • Note any associated infections, autoimmune features, or lymphoid hyperplasia

Clinical Significance

Immunodeficiency with increased immunoglobulin M, also known as hyper-Immunoglobulin M syndrome, is a primary immunodeficiency caused by defective immunoglobulin class switching, resulting in elevated Immunoglobulin M but severely deficient Immunoglobulin G and Immunoglobulin A. Patients are highly susceptible to opportunistic infections including Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, Cryptosporidium enteritis, and recurrent bacterial infections.

Documentation Requirements

  • Documentation must include quantitative immunoglobulin levels showing elevated Immunoglobulin M with reduced Immunoglobulin G and Immunoglobulin A, genetic testing results if available (CD40 ligand or activation-induced cytidine deaminase mutations), clinical manifestations including infection history, neutropenia if present, and treatment including immunoglobulin replacement therapy and prophylactic antimicrobials.

Commonly Confused Codes

  • D80.4 (selective Immunoglobulin M deficiency which has LOW Immunoglobulin M, the opposite pattern), D80.0 (hereditary hypogammaglobulinemia which has all immunoglobulins low), D81.2 (severe combined immunodeficiency with B-cell numbers preserved but different mechanism), D83.0 (common variable immunodeficiency with B-cell abnormalities, a different entity).

Code Hierarchy

For D80.5, 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.

D80.5 maps to CMS-HCC V28 category 115, Specified Immunodeficiencies and White Blood Cell Disorders. See the ICD-10 to HCC mapping hub for how the V28 crosswalk works. The mapping identifies a payment HCC category for D80.5. Review its source-labeled HCC coefficient above, check the RAF Calculator with complete member context for CMS-HCC V28 PY2026, and confirm the documentation the chart needs before the code is submitted. HCC Buddy shows no RAF score unless every required source and calculation check passes.
