Is R19.06 an HCC code?
No. R19.06 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
R19.06 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for epigastric swelling, mass or lump. A swelling, mass, or lump in the upper central area of the abdomen, just below the breastbone. R19.06 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (r00-r99), within the section covering symptoms and signs involving the digestive system and abdomen (r10-r19).
R19.06 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.
Epigastric region is the upper central abdomen; clarify location if mass extends to other quadrants.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for R19.06 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
