Is O44.02 an HCC code?
No. O44.02 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
O44.02 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for complete placenta previa nos or without hemorrhage, second trimester. The placenta completely covers the opening of the uterus during the second trimester without active bleeding. O44.02 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (o00-o9a), within the section covering maternal care related to the fetus and amniotic cavity and possible delivery problems (o30-o48).
O44.02 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.
Confirm the second trimester timing (weeks 13-27) is documented in the medical record.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for O44.02 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Confirm the second trimester timing (weeks 13-27) is documented in the medical record
- •Use O44.12 instead if hemorrhage is present during the second trimester
