Is Q98.4 an HCC code?

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Q98.4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for klinefelter syndrome, unspecified. Klinefelter syndrome in males where the specific chromosomal pattern has not been identified or specified in the documentation. Q98.4 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for congenital malformations, deformations, chromosomal abnormalities, and genetic disorders (q00-qa0), within the section covering chromosomal abnormalities, not elsewhere classified (q90-q99).

Q98.4 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.

Use this code only when Klinefelter syndrome is diagnosed but the specific karyotype is not documented.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for Q98.4 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Use this code only when Klinefelter syndrome is diagnosed but the specific karyotype is not documented
