Frequently asked questions

How is the ICD-10-CM tabular list organized into chapters?

The FY2026 ICD-10-CM tabular list is divided into 22 chapters. Each chapter covers a body system or category of conditions and spans a contiguous range of code prefixes, for example I00 to I99 for the circulatory system. HCC Buddy lists every chapter with the number of codes in it that risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28.

Which ICD-10-CM chapters carry the most HCC risk-adjusting codes?

Neoplasms (C00-D49), endocrine and metabolic conditions (E00-E89), mental and behavioral conditions (F01-F99), and circulatory conditions (I00-I99) contribute the largest share of CMS-HCC V28 payment categories. Open any chapter below to see its exact count and the HCC categories its codes map to.

Do all ICD-10-CM codes affect the RAF score?

No. Of the roughly 72,000 FY2026 ICD-10-CM codes, only a subset map to a CMS-HCC V28 payment category and contribute to a patient's risk adjustment factor (RAF) score. Each chapter page shows how many of its codes risk-adjust and which HCC categories they hit.
