Is O98.32 an HCC code?
No. O98.32 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
O98.32 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other infections with a predominantly sexual mode of transmission complicating childbirth. A sexually transmitted infection (other than those specifically named) that occurs during labor and delivery and may complicate the childbirth process. O98.32 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (o00-o9a), within the section covering other obstetric conditions, not elsewhere classified (o94-o9a).
O98.32 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.
This code applies to infections present during the actual labor and delivery period.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for O98.32 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •This code applies to infections present during the actual labor and delivery period
