Is H40.2224 an HCC code?
No. H40.2224 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to any HCC category in V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC.
HCC Category Mapping
RAF weights shown are the community, non-dual, aged base weights from the CMS risk adjustment model file. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member segment, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains in use during the transition and for historical data.

MEAT Criteria for H40.2224
For H40.2224to count as a valid HCC diagnosis in a given encounter, the provider's documentation must show MEAT: Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat. A diagnosis from a prior year does not carry forward automatically, it has to be re-documented and supported each calendar year.
- 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
Only one of M/E/A/T is required to support the code, but the documentation must be specific enough to show that the provider actually addressed H40.2224 during that encounter, not just copy-forwarded from a problem list.

What This Code Means
H40.2224 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for chronic angle-closure glaucoma, left eye, indeterminate stage. H40.2224 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering glaucoma (h40-h42).
H40.2224 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.
H40.2224 is a billable ICD-10-CM code that can be reported on claims but does not currently contribute to a Medicare Advantage member's RAF score under any CMS risk adjustment model (V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC). Coders reviewing H40.2224 should check whether additional documentation would support a more specific child code in the same hierarchy that does map to a payment HCC, capturing the correct specificity is the highest-impact RAF improvement available within accurate coding.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for H40.2224 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
