Is Z73.5 an HCC code?
No. Z73.5 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
Z73.5 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for social role conflict, not elsewhere classified. Conflict or difficulty arising from conflicting demands of different social roles (such as parent, employee, spouse) that a person is trying to fulfill. Z73.5 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for factors influencing health status and contact with health services (z00-z99), within the section covering persons encountering health services in other circumstances (z69-z76).
Z73.5 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.
Document which specific roles are creating conflict in the clinical notes.
