Is H10.519 an HCC code?

No. H10.519 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

H10.519 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for ligneous conjunctivitis, unspecified eye. A rare type of eyelid and conjunctival inflammation characterized by woody, fibrous tissue formation with unspecified eye involvement. H10.519 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering disorders of conjunctiva (h10-h11).

H10.519 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.

Use this code only when the affected eye is not documented or cannot be determined.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for H10.519 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
