Common variable immunodeficiency with predominant abnormalities of B-cell numbers and function

A common immune disorder where the body doesn't produce enough antibodies or the B cells that make them don't function properly.

Buddy Insight

Common variable immunodeficiency with predominant abnormalities of B-cell numbers and function is the most common symptomatic primary immunodeficiency in adults, characterized by significantly reduced B-cell numbers or function leading to hypogammaglobulinemia.

Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Documentation must include quantitative immunoglobulin levels (Immunoglobulin G, Immunoglobulin A, and often Immunoglobulin M significantly reduced), B-cell enumeration by flow cytometry, poor response to vaccination challenge testing, clinical manifestations including infection history, and treatment with immunoglobulin replacement therapy.
Specify that B-cell abnormalities are the predominant finding to justify D83.0 over D83.1 or D83.2.

Specify that B-cell abnormalities are the predominant finding to justify D83.0 over D83.1 or D83.2.

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance
Common variable immunodeficiency requires at least two immunoglobulin classes significantly reduced and exclusion of other causes of hypogammaglobulinemia. Do not assign this code for medication-induced hypogammaglobulinemia (e.g., from rituximab) or protein-losing conditions. The B-cell abnormality must be documented as the predominant feature
if both T-cell and B-cell defects are equally prominent, D83.8 or D83.9 may be more appropriate.

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance
D83.1 (common variable immunodeficiency with predominant T-cell disorders), D83.2 (common variable immunodeficiency with autoantibodies to B
or T-cells), D83.9 (common variable immunodeficiency, unspecified, used when the predominant abnormality is not specified), D80.0 (hereditary hypogammaglobulinemia which typically presents earlier in life).

Is D83.0 an HCC code?

Yes. D83.0 (Common variable immunodeficiency with predominant abnormalities of B-cell numbers and function) maps to HCC 114, Common Variable and Combined Immunodeficiencies under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 2.262. 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: D83.0 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 114, Common Variable and Combined Immunodeficiencies. 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 Criteria for D83.0

For D83.0 to 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 D83.0 during that encounter, not just copy-forwarded from a problem list.

What This Code Means

D83.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for common variable immunodeficiency with predominant abnormalities of b-cell numbers and function. A common immune disorder where the body doesn't produce enough antibodies or the B cells that make them don't function properly. D83.0 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, D83.0 maps to Common Variable and Combined Immunodeficiencies (HCC 114) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 2.262. No V24 mapping is shown for D83.0; use the applicable model and payment year when reviewing the V28 mapping. 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. 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.

Document specific B-cell count abnormalities and functional deficits from immunological testing. Because D83.0 maps to an HCC category, the provider's documentation must satisfy MEAT criteria (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) before the diagnosis is used for risk adjustment. 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 D83.0 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Document specific B-cell count abnormalities and functional deficits from immunological testing
  • Distinguish from D83.1 and D83.2 by confirming the primary problem is B-cell related, not T-cell or autoimmune

Clinical Significance

Common variable immunodeficiency with predominant abnormalities of B-cell numbers and function is the most common symptomatic primary immunodeficiency in adults, characterized by significantly reduced B-cell numbers or function leading to hypogammaglobulinemia. Patients present with recurrent sinopulmonary infections, gastrointestinal disease, granulomatous inflammation, and increased risk of autoimmune cytopenias and lymphoid malignancy.

Documentation Requirements

  • Documentation must include quantitative immunoglobulin levels (Immunoglobulin G, Immunoglobulin A, and often Immunoglobulin M significantly reduced), B-cell enumeration by flow cytometry, poor response to vaccination challenge testing, clinical manifestations including infection history, and treatment with immunoglobulin replacement therapy.
  • Specify that B-cell abnormalities are the predominant finding to justify D83.0 over D83.1 or D83.2.

Commonly Confused Codes

  • D83.1 (common variable immunodeficiency with predominant T-cell disorders), D83.2 (common variable immunodeficiency with autoantibodies to B
  • or T-cells), D83.9 (common variable immunodeficiency, unspecified, used when the predominant abnormality is not specified), D80.0 (hereditary hypogammaglobulinemia which typically presents earlier in life).

Because D83.0 maps to an HCC category, the documentation must satisfy MEAT criteria (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) before the diagnosis is used for risk adjustment.

D83.0 maps to CMS-HCC V28 category 114, Common Variable and Combined Immunodeficiencies. See the ICD-10 to HCC mapping hub for how the V28 crosswalk works. The mapping identifies a payment HCC category for D83.0. 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.
