Is H50.60 an HCC code?
No. H50.60 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
H50.60 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for mechanical strabismus, unspecified. This code describes a misalignment of the eyes caused by problems with the eye muscles or their attachments, where the specific type of muscle problem is not specified. The eyes are unable to focus together on the same object due to mechanical dysfunction rather than nerve or brain issues. H50.60 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the eye and adnexa (h00-h59), within the section covering disorders of ocular muscles, binocular movement, accommodation and refraction (h49-h52).
H50.60 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 documentation indicates mechanical strabismus but does not specify the type (such as esotropia, exotropia, or vertical strabismus); if the specific type is documented, use a more specific H50 code.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for H50.60 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code only when the documentation indicates mechanical strabismus but does not specify the type (such as esotropia, exotropia, or vertical strabismus); if the specific type is documented, use a more specific H50 code
- •Verify whether the strabismus is concomitant or paralytic, as paralytic strabismus has different coding (H49 series); mechanical strabismus typically refers to concomitant types
