What is ICD-10 code D80.8?

D80.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Other immunodeficiencies with predominantly antibody defects. Various other immune system disorders characterized primarily by the body's inability to produce adequate antibodies to fight infections. D80.8 is a billable code, meaning it can be reported on a claim as a primary or secondary diagnosis when supported by documentation. D80.8 is part of the FY2026 ICD-10-CM code set published by the CMS National Center for Health Statistics and used on Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial claims in the United States.

Yes. D80.8 is a billable ICD-10-CM code that can be reported on professional and institutional claims as a primary or secondary diagnosis when the provider documentation supports the specific condition described. Billable codes in ICD-10-CM are coded to the highest level of specificity available for the documented diagnosis. D80.8 is current for fiscal year 2026 and remains in the active CMS ICD-10-CM code set published by the National Center for Health Statistics.

What is the V28 vs V24 difference for D80.8?

CMS phased in the V28 risk adjustment model over payment years 2024 (33%), 2025 (67%), and 2026 (100%), replacing V24. V28 consolidates HCC categories, removes some lower-acuity conditions, and recalibrates RAF weights across the entire model. D80.8 was a payment HCC under V24 (Disorders of Immunity) but the V28 recalibration removed it from the risk adjustment model. Both models can still appear in legacy data and in payer-specific lookback periods.

What should coders know when reporting D80.8?

Use this code only when the specific antibody deficiency does not fit into other D80 categories Document the specific type of antibody defect identified in clinical evaluation Because D80.8 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.

Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance

Documentation must specify the particular antibody defect identified through immunological testing, explain why it does not fit other D80 subcategories, include quantitative immunoglobulin levels and specific antibody titers, and describe clinical manifestations.

Document the treatment approach including whether immunoglobulin replacement therapy is required.

MEAT Support

HCC Buddy guidance

Document the treatment approach including whether immunoglobulin replacement therapy is required.

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance

Review all available D80 subcategories before assigning D80.8 to ensure a more specific code does not apply. This code should not be used as a substitute for incomplete documentation

if the specific defect is unknown, D80.9 is more appropriate. Always query the provider for further specificity when immunological testing results are available.

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance

D80.2 through D80.5 (specific immunoglobulin deficiencies that should be used when a specific class or subclass is identified), D80.9 (unspecified antibody deficiency when the specific defect is unknown), D80.6 (antibody deficiency with near-normal immunoglobulins), D83.8 (other common variable immunodeficiency which has distinct diagnostic criteria).

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 D80.8 an HCC code?

Yes. D80.8 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 D80.8

For D80.8to 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 D80.8 during that encounter, not just copy-forwarded from a problem list.

What This Code Means

D80.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other immunodeficiencies with predominantly antibody defects. Various other immune system disorders characterized primarily by the body's inability to produce adequate antibodies to fight infections. D80.8 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, D80.8 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.

Use this code only when the specific antibody deficiency does not fit into other D80 categories. Because D80.8 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 D80.8 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

•Use this code only when the specific antibody deficiency does not fit into other D80 categories
•Document the specific type of antibody defect identified in clinical evaluation

Clinical Significance

Other immunodeficiencies with predominantly antibody defects encompasses antibody-mediated immunodeficiencies that do not fit into the specifically defined categories of Immunoglobulin A, Immunoglobulin G subclass, or Immunoglobulin M deficiencies. These conditions share the common feature of impaired humoral immunity leading to recurrent infections, but with unique immunological profiles requiring specialized workup.

Documentation Requirements

✓Documentation must specify the particular antibody defect identified through immunological testing, explain why it does not fit other D80 subcategories, include quantitative immunoglobulin levels and specific antibody titers, and describe clinical manifestations.
✓Document the treatment approach including whether immunoglobulin replacement therapy is required.

Commonly Confused Codes

•D80.2 through D80.5 (specific immunoglobulin deficiencies that should be used when a specific class or subclass is identified), D80.9 (unspecified antibody deficiency when the specific defect is unknown), D80.6 (antibody deficiency with near-normal immunoglobulins), D83.8 (other common variable immunodeficiency which has distinct diagnostic criteria).
