Transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy

A temporary condition in infants where antibody production is low but typically resolves on its own as the immune system matures.

Buddy Insight

Transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy is a temporary physiologic immunodeficiency occurring when maternal immunoglobulin G antibodies decline faster than the infant's own immune system can produce replacement antibodies.

Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Documentation must confirm the patient is an infant or young child, include quantitative immunoglobulin levels showing low Immunoglobulin G for age, evidence that the condition is expected to resolve (not a permanent primary immunodeficiency), and any clinical infections requiring treatment.
Document serial immunoglobulin levels showing improvement over time and confirm resolution or continued monitoring.

HCC Buddy guidance
Documentation must confirm the patient is an infant or young child, include quantitative immunoglobulin levels showing low Immunoglobulin G for age, evidence that the condition is expected to resolve (not a permanent primary immunodeficiency), and any clinical infections requiring treatment.
Document serial immunoglobulin levels showing improvement over time and confirm resolution or continued monitoring.

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance
This code should not be used in patients older than early childhood, as the condition is by definition transient and should resolve.
If immunoglobulin levels remain low beyond age 4, reconsider the diagnosis and evaluate for permanent primary immunodeficiency.
Do not confuse with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (D80.0), which does not resolve and requires lifelong treatment.

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance
D80.0 (hereditary hypogammaglobulinemia which is permanent and genetic), D80.1 (nonfamilial hypogammaglobulinemia in older patients), D80.9 (unspecified antibody deficiency), D83.9 (common variable immunodeficiency which is a chronic lifelong condition), D81.9 (combined immunodeficiency which affects both humoral and cellular immunity).

Last updated: FY2026 ICD-10-CM Apr update, Apr 1, 2026 through Sep 30, 2026. CMS-HCC V28 is 100% phased in for payment year 2026.

Is D80.7 an HCC code?

Yes. D80.7 maps to Disorders of Immunity under the V24 model but is not retained in V28.

RAF weights shown are the community, non-dual, aged base weights from the CMS risk adjustment model file. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member segment, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains in use during the transition and for historical data.

MEAT Criteria for D80.7

For D80.7to count as a valid HCC diagnosis in a given encounter, the provider's documentation must show MEAT: Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat. A diagnosis from a prior year does not carry forward automatically, it has to be re-documented and supported each calendar year.

  • 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

Only one of M/E/A/T is required to support the code, but the documentation must be specific enough to show that the provider actually addressed D80.7 during that encounter, not just copy-forwarded from a problem list.

What This Code Means

D80.7 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy. A temporary condition in infants where antibody production is low but typically resolves on its own as the immune system matures. D80.7 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 older CMS-HCC V24 model, D80.7 maps to Disorders of Immunity (HCC 47) with a community, non-dual, aged base RAF weight of 0.472. V28 is the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model that reached 100% phase-in for payment year 2026, replacing V24 which was used during the PY2024–PY2025 transition.

Confirm patient age is in infancy period; this condition is self-limiting and should resolve by age 3-6 months. Because D80.7 maps to a payment HCC, the provider's documentation must satisfy MEAT criteria (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) for the encounter to count toward the patient's Medicare Advantage risk adjustment score. 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, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for D80.7 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Confirm patient age is in infancy period; this condition is self-limiting and should resolve by age 3-6 months
  • Document that this is transient and not a permanent immunodeficiency disorder

Clinical Significance

Transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy is a temporary physiologic immunodeficiency occurring when maternal immunoglobulin G antibodies decline faster than the infant's own immune system can produce replacement antibodies. This self-limiting condition typically resolves by 2 to 4 years of age as the infant's immune system matures, though some children may experience increased susceptibility to infections during this period.

Documentation Requirements

  • Documentation must confirm the patient is an infant or young child, include quantitative immunoglobulin levels showing low Immunoglobulin G for age, evidence that the condition is expected to resolve (not a permanent primary immunodeficiency), and any clinical infections requiring treatment.
  • Document serial immunoglobulin levels showing improvement over time and confirm resolution or continued monitoring.

Commonly Confused Codes

  • D80.0 (hereditary hypogammaglobulinemia which is permanent and genetic), D80.1 (nonfamilial hypogammaglobulinemia in older patients), D80.9 (unspecified antibody deficiency), D83.9 (common variable immunodeficiency which is a chronic lifelong condition), D81.9 (combined immunodeficiency which affects both humoral and cellular immunity).

Child Codes

Code Hierarchy

Because D80.7 maps to a payment HCC, the documentation must also satisfy MEAT criteria (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) for the encounter to count toward the patient's risk adjustment score.
