CC/MCC status and inpatient edits

As a secondary diagnosis, O99.830 is a CC under MS-DRG v44, unless the principal diagnosis is one of the 36 codes in its exclusion list. Check O99.830 against a principal diagnosis.

  • Present on admission: a POA indicator is required on inpatient claims.
  • Medicare Code Editor: age conflict: maternity diagnosis (age 9 to 64).

CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment

O99.830 does not map to a payment HCC in the PY2027 CMS-HCC V28 model, so on its own it does not change a Medicare Advantage risk score.
