Is E09.3299 an HCC code?
E09.3299 is not in the CMS-HCC V28 or V24 community payment model. E09.3299 has a separate mapping under the CMS-HCC ESRD model (HCC 18 (Diabetes with Chronic Complications)) and the Part D RxHCC model (HCC 30 (Diabetes with Complications)); the applicable result needs member context. E09.3299 also appears in the HHS-HCC commercial risk model (HCC 020 (HHS-HCC 020 adult, RAF varies by metal level)), which is a commercial market model rather than a Medicare Advantage payment mapping.

HCC Category Mapping
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 E09.3299
For E09.3299, 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
E09.3299 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy without macular edema, unspecified eye. E09.3299 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (e00-e89), within the section covering diabetes mellitus (e08-e13).
E09.3299 has no mapping under the CMS-HCC V28 or V24 community payment models. E09.3299 has a separate mapping under the CMS-HCC ESRD model (HCC 18 (Diabetes with Chronic Complications)) and the Part D RxHCC model (HCC 30 (Diabetes with Complications)); the applicable result needs member context. E09.3299 also appears in the HHS-HCC commercial risk model (HCC 020 (HHS-HCC 020 adult, RAF varies by metal level)), which is a commercial market model rather than a Medicare Advantage payment mapping. Do not assign V28 risk adjustment value from this page; verify the applicable model and payment year before using this code for risk adjustment.
E09.3299 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but the current payload does not show a mapping under the CMS-HCC V28 or V24 community payment models. It does map under the CMS-HCC ESRD model, the Part D RxHCC model and the HHS-HCC commercial model, and that result depends on member context rather than on the V28 community model. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown. Coders should check the current model files and select only the specificity supported by the provider documentation.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for E09.3299 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
