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 T84.020A an HCC code?

Yes. T84.020A maps to Complications of Specified Implanted Device or Graft under the V24 model but is not retained in V28.

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 T84.020A

For T84.020Ato 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 T84.020A during that encounter, not just copy-forwarded from a problem list.

What This Code Means

T84.020A is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for dislocation of internal right hip prosthesis, initial encounter. T84.020A sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (s00-t88), within the section covering complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified (t80-t88).

Under the older CMS-HCC V24 model, T84.020A maps to Complications of Specified Implanted Device or Graft (HCC 176) with a community, non-dual, aged base RAF weight of 0.529. 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 T84.020A 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 T84.020A 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 T84.020A sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
