Is G56.30 an HCC code?

No. G56.30 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to any HCC category in V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC.

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

G56.30 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for lesion of radial nerve, unspecified upper limb. Damage or injury to the radial nerve in an unspecified arm, affecting wrist and finger extension. G56.30 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the nervous system (g00-g99), within the section covering nerve, nerve root and plexus disorders (g50-g59).

G56.30 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.

This is a non-specific code; attempt to determine laterality from clinical documentation to use G56.31 or G56.32.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for G56.30 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • This is a non-specific code; attempt to determine laterality from clinical documentation to use G56.31 or G56.32
