Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
The provider must document the secondary diabetes type, identify the specific nerve affected, and establish the diabetic etiology.
Clinical findings such as focal weakness, sensory loss in a single nerve distribution, or electrodiagnostic confirmation should be documented.

MEAT Support

HCC Buddy guidance
The provider must document the secondary diabetes type, identify the specific nerve affected, and establish the diabetic etiology.
Clinical findings such as focal weakness, sensory loss in a single nerve distribution, or electrodiagnostic confirmation should be documented.

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance
Ensure the mononeuropathy is documented as diabetic in origin, not due to compression, trauma, or other causes. A diabetic patient with carpal tunnel syndrome may have compression-related mononeuropathy rather than diabetic mononeuropathy
provider documentation must clarify the etiology.

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance
E13.42 (diabetic polyneuropathy) when multiple nerves are affected
E13.40 (diabetic neuropathy unspecified) when the neuropathy type is not documented
G56-G58 (non-diabetic mononeuropathies) when the nerve damage is not attributed to diabetes.

Is E13.41 an HCC code?

Yes. E13.41 (Other specified diabetes mellitus with diabetic mononeuropathy) maps to HCC 37, Diabetes with Chronic Complications under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 0.166. 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: E13.41 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 37, Diabetes with Chronic Complications. 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 E13.41

For E13.41, 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

E13.41 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified diabetes mellitus with diabetic mononeuropathy. A type of diabetes (not type 1 or type 2) causing damage to a single nerve, resulting in weakness or pain in specific areas of the body. E13.41 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (e00-e89), within the section covering diabetes mellitus (e08-e13).

Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, E13.41 maps to Diabetes with Chronic Complications (HCC 37) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 0.166. 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.

Confirm documentation specifies mononeuropathy (single nerve involvement) rather than polyneuropathy. For E13.41, 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 E13.41 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Confirm documentation specifies mononeuropathy (single nerve involvement) rather than polyneuropathy
  • Document which nerve is affected if possible for clinical clarity

Clinical Significance

E13.41 captures diabetic mononeuropathy in other specified diabetes, indicating damage to a single peripheral nerve. Common presentations include cranial nerve palsies (particularly third nerve palsy causing diplopia), carpal tunnel syndrome, or femoral neuropathy. Mononeuropathy often has an acute onset and may partially resolve with glycemic control.

Documentation Requirements

  • The provider must document the secondary diabetes type, identify the specific nerve affected, and establish the diabetic etiology.
  • Clinical findings such as focal weakness, sensory loss in a single nerve distribution, or electrodiagnostic confirmation should be documented.

Commonly Confused Codes

  • E13.42 (diabetic polyneuropathy) when multiple nerves are affected
  • E13.40 (diabetic neuropathy unspecified) when the neuropathy type is not documented
  • G56-G58 (non-diabetic mononeuropathies) when the nerve damage is not attributed to diabetes.

E13.41 maps to CMS-HCC V28 category 37, Diabetes with Chronic Complications. See the ICD-10 to HCC mapping hub for how the V28 crosswalk works. The mapping identifies a payment HCC category for E13.41. 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.
