Is M30.1 an HCC code?
Yes. M30.1 (Polyarteritis with lung involvement [Churg-Strauss]) maps to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Lung Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model (and Rheumatoid Arthritis and Inflammatory Connective Tissue Disease under V24), with a community non-dual aged RAF of 0.818. It is billable for payment year 2026.
Coder answer: M30.1 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 278, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Lung Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis. Open it in the Code Book for the tabular path, RAF, and MEAT checklist.

HCC Category Mapping
Each model's RAF is its CMS base weight for that model's standard population, so weights are not directly comparable across models: CMS-HCC V28 and V24 use Community, Non-Dual, Aged; ESRD uses the dialysis continuing-enrollee model; RxHCC is the Part D continuing-enrollee, non-low-income, aged weight (a larger scale than CMS-HCC). ACA/HHS has no single weight — it varies by metal level. 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 M30.1
For M30.1 to 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 M30.1 during that encounter, not just copy-forwarded from a problem list.

What This Code Means
M30.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for polyarteritis with lung involvement [churg-strauss]. A rare inflammatory disease (Churg-Strauss syndrome) that affects blood vessels and causes inflammation in the lungs along with other systemic symptoms. M30.1 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (m00-m99), within the section covering systemic connective tissue disorders (m30-m36).
Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, M30.1 maps to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Lung Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis (HCC 278) with a community, non-dual, aged base RAF weight of 0.818. Under the older CMS-HCC V24 model, M30.1 maps to Rheumatoid Arthritis and Inflammatory Connective Tissue Disease (HCC 40) with a community, non-dual, aged base RAF weight of 0.421. V28 is the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model that reached 100% phase-in for payment year 2026, replacing V24 which was used during the PY2024–PY2025 transition.
This condition is also known as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA); document the preferred terminology used. Because M30.1 maps to a payment HCC, the provider's documentation must satisfy MEAT criteria (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) for the encounter to count toward the patient's Medicare Advantage risk adjustment score. When documentation is ambiguous, coders should issue a provider query rather than assume the highest-specificity variant.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for M30.1 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •This condition is also known as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA); document the preferred terminology used
- •Specify the extent of lung involvement and any other affected organs for complete clinical picture
Clinical Significance
Churg-Strauss syndrome (Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis) is a rare, life-threatening systemic vasculitis with prominent lung involvement and eosinophilia. The condition requires immediate aggressive treatment and has a high risk of organ damage and mortality if untreated.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Clinical triad of asthma, eosinophilia, and systemic vasculitis
- ✓Pulmonary involvement documentation
- ✓Biopsy showing eosinophilic infiltration and necrotizing vasculitis
- ✓Laboratory evidence of eosinophilia
- ✓ANCA testing results if available
- ✓Documentation of affected organ systems
- ✓Assessment of cardiac involvement
- ✓Treatment response monitoring
Commonly Confused Codes
- •M30.0: Polyarteritis nodosa (without lung involvement)
- •J45.9: Asthma, unspecified (when only respiratory symptoms are coded)
- •M31.30: Wegener's granulomatosis without renal involvement
- •D72.1: Eosinophilia (when only blood abnormality is coded)
- •M35.9: Systemic involvement of connective tissue, unspecified
