Hierarchical condition category (HCC) Coding
Hierarchical condition category (HCC) coding is a risk-adjustment model originally designed to estimate future healthcare costs for patients. Based on the HCC system, providers need to document all health conditions to the appropriate specificity level for CMS to ascertain the patients’ true health status which impacts the risk adjustment payment.
