Is P02.5 an HCC code?
No. P02.5 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
P02.5 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for newborn affected by other compression of umbilical cord. A newborn is affected by the umbilical cord being squeezed or compressed, which can reduce oxygen and nutrient delivery to the baby during pregnancy or delivery. P02.5 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (p00-p96), within the section covering newborn affected by maternal factors and by complications of pregnancy, labor, and delivery (p00-p04).
P02.5 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.
Specify the cause of compression if documented (nuchal cord, knots, oligohydramnios, etc.).
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for P02.5 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Specify the cause of compression if documented (nuchal cord, knots, oligohydramnios, etc.)
- •Document the severity and any resulting effects on the newborn
