Last updated: FY2026 ICD-10-CM Apr update, Apr 1, 2026 through Sep 30, 2026. CMS-HCC V28 is 100% phased in for payment year 2026.

Is S72.364B an HCC code?

Yes. S72.364B maps to Pathological Fractures under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model (and Hip Fracture/Dislocation under V24).

RAF weights shown are the community, non-dual, aged base weights from the CMS risk adjustment model file. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member segment, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains in use during the transition and for historical data.

MEAT Criteria for S72.364B

For S72.364Bto count as a valid HCC diagnosis in a given encounter, the provider's documentation must show MEAT: Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat. A diagnosis from a prior year does not carry forward automatically, it has to be re-documented and supported each calendar year.

  • MMonitor: signs, symptoms, disease progression, or lab trending documented in the note
  • EEvaluate: test results, medication response, or physical findings reviewed by the provider
  • AAssess: explicit mention in the assessment or plan with acknowledgment of status
  • TTreat: medication, referral, procedure, therapy, or counseling tied to the diagnosis

Only one of M/E/A/T is required to support the code, but the documentation must be specific enough to show that the provider actually addressed S72.364B during that encounter, not just copy-forwarded from a problem list.

What This Code Means

S72.364B is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for nondisplaced segmental fracture of shaft of right femur, initial encounter for open fracture type i or ii. S72.364B sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (s00-t88), within the section covering injuries to the hip and thigh (s70-s79).

Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, S72.364B maps to Pathological Fractures (HCC 402) with a community, non-dual, aged base RAF weight of 0.000. Under the older CMS-HCC V24 model, S72.364B maps to Hip Fracture/Dislocation (HCC 170) with a community, non-dual, aged base RAF weight of 0.451. V28 is the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model that reached 100% phase-in for payment year 2026, replacing V24 which was used during the PY2024–PY2025 transition.

Coders should report S72.364B only when the provider documentation supports the specific condition described, since more specific codes within the same hierarchy can capture additional clinical detail and may carry a higher RAF weight. Because S72.364B maps to a payment HCC, the provider's documentation must satisfy MEAT criteria (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) for the encounter to count toward the patient's Medicare Advantage risk adjustment score. When documentation is ambiguous, coders should issue a provider query rather than assume the highest-specificity variant.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for S72.364B sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
