Relative factors by segment
Each segment is a separate regression; the factor is added to the beneficiary's demographic factors and other categories, then normalized and reduced by the coding intensity adjustment before it meets the plan's base rate. A factor of 1.000 equals the expected cost of an average beneficiary.
| Segment | Model code | Relative factor |
|---|---|---|
| Community, non-dual, aged | CNA_HCC200 | 0.279 |
| Community, non-dual, disabled | CND_HCC200 | 0.208 |
| Community, full-benefit dual, aged | CFA_HCC200 | 0.165 |
| Community, full-benefit dual, disabled | CFD_HCC200 | 0.281 |
| Community, partial-benefit dual, aged | CPA_HCC200 | 0.050 |
| Community, partial-benefit dual, disabled | CPD_HCC200 | 0.428 |
| Long-term institutional | INS_HCC200 | 0.000 |
Hierarchy
HCC 200 is not part of a hierarchy: it is paid whenever a mapped diagnosis is documented, independently of the beneficiary's other categories.
ICD-10-CM codes that map to HCC 200
17 codes map to this category in the PY2027 initial mapping, concentrated in the G11 (11), G93 (3), G10 (1), G31 (1), G90 (1) code families. Descriptions are the CMS mapping descriptions for the FY2026 code set; a code that is deleted or split in the October code update stays valid for dates of service before the change.
| ICD-10-CM | Description |

| G10 | Huntington's disease |
| G110 | Congenital nonprogressive ataxia |
| G1110 | Early-onset cerebellar ataxia, unspecified |
| G1111 | Friedreich ataxia |
| G1119 | Other early-onset cerebellar ataxia |
| G112 | Late-onset cerebellar ataxia |
| G113 | Cerebellar ataxia with defective DNA repair |
| G114 | Hereditary spastic paraplegia |
| G115 | Hypomyelination - hypogonadotropic hypogonadism - hypodontia |
| G116 | Leukodystrophy with vanishing white matter disease |
| G118 | Other hereditary ataxias |
| G119 | Hereditary ataxia, unspecified |
| G3180 | Leukodystrophy, unspecified |
| G90B | LMNB1-related autosomal dominant leukodystrophy |
| G9342 | Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts |
| G9343 | Leukoencephalopathy with calcifications and cysts |
| G9344 | Adult-onset leukodystrophy with axonal spheroids |
Where these codes sat in the V22 model
The V28 recalibration renumbered and regrouped categories; this table shows which legacy V22 categories the same ICD-10 codes belonged to, which is the quickest way to reconcile a V22-era HCC gap list with the current model.
| V22 HCC | Codes |
|---|---|
| 72 | 11 |
| 78 | 1 |
Capturing and defending the category
A category counts for a payment year when a mapped diagnosis is documented at least once during the data collection year by an acceptable provider type at a face-to-face or audio-video encounter, and when the note shows the condition was monitored, evaluated, assessed or treated. Chronic conditions do not carry forward: a category that is not re-documented in the year drops out of the score, which is why annual wellness visits and problem-list reconciliation are where most recapture happens. Risk adjustment data validation audits sample enrollees and ask for the medical record behind each submitted category; an unsupported category is removed and, under the extrapolation rules, the error rate is applied across the contract. The QuickIntell risk adjustment product surfaces suspected and unsupported categories from the chart, and the HCC hub lists every V28 category with its factor and code count.
Frequently asked questions
Which ICD-10 codes map to HCC 200?
17 ICD-10-CM codes map to HCC 200 in the CMS PY2027 initial mapping, for example G10 Huntington's disease; G110 Congenital nonprogressive ataxia; G1110 Early-onset cerebellar ataxia, unspecified; G1111 Friedreich ataxia. The full list is on this page; a code counts only when it is documented at a face-to-face or video encounter in the data collection year and supported by the record.
How much does HCC 200 add to a risk score?
The V28 relative factor for HCC 200 is 0.279 for a community, non-dual, aged beneficiary, 0.165 for full-benefit dual aged, 0.208 for non-dual disabled and 0.000 for long-term institutional members. A factor of 1.000 equals the expected annual cost of an average beneficiary, so the category's share of the payment follows the plan's base rate for that segment.
Does HCC 200 count together with related categories?
HCC 200 is not part of a hierarchy, so it is paid whenever it is documented regardless of which other categories the beneficiary has.
What has to be documented for HCC 200 to be valid?
The diagnosis must be recorded by an acceptable provider type during a face-to-face or audio-video encounter in the service year, with the note showing that the condition was monitored, evaluated, assessed or treated. Risk adjustment data validation audits recover payment for categories the record does not support, so the code on the claim and the assessment in the note must match.
