This is a sample of the concepts that can be found in the CMS Hierarchical Condition Categories (CMS-HCC) code system version 24. The source of the codes included in this example was published at https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Health-Plans/MedicareAdvtgSpecRateStats/Downloads/Announcement2020.pdf. The CMS-HCC model uses more than 9,000 ICD-10-CM codes, which are mapped to condition categories (CCs) that predict costs well. The condition categories (CCs) are based on diagnoses clinically related to one another and with similar predicted cost implications. Hierarchies are imposed on the Condition Categories (CCs) to capture the most costly diagnoses. Hierarchy logic is imposed on certain Condition Categories (CCs) to account for different hierarchical costs, thus, the term Hierarchical Condition Category, or HCC.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
