Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Document normal or elevated IGF-1 levels with poor growth response to distinguish from primary IGF-1 deficiency
This represents a receptor or post-receptor signaling problem rather than insufficient hormone production

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.

What This Code Means

E34.322 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for insulin-like growth factor-1 (igf-1) resistance. A condition where the body produces insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) but the body's cells do not respond properly to it, limiting growth. E34.322 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (e00-e89), within the section covering disorders of other endocrine glands (e20-e35).

E34.322 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Document normal or elevated IGF-1 levels with poor growth response to distinguish from primary IGF-1 deficiency.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for E34.322 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Document normal or elevated IGF-1 levels with poor growth response to distinguish from primary IGF-1 deficiency
  • This represents a receptor or post-receptor signaling problem rather than insufficient hormone production
