Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Document the specific syndrome name when possible rather than using this catch-all code
Include measurements and growth parameters in the clinical record to support the short stature diagnosis

Current with CMS: FY2026 ICD-10-CM Apr 1 update (effective Apr 1 – Sep 30, 2026) · CMS-HCC V28, 100% phased in for payment year 2026. FY2027 code set already staged for October 1, 2026. How HCC Buddy stays current →

Is Q87.19 an HCC code?

Q87.19 has no mapping under the current CMS-HCC V28 community payment model. Q87.19 also appears in the HHS-HCC commercial risk model (HCC 097 (HHS-HCC 097 adult, RAF varies by metal level)), which is a commercial market model rather than a Medicare Advantage payment mapping.
