I have a provider that is very surprised that code I12.9 does not risk adjust (has HCC).... i just noticed that in the AAPC 2019 ICD 10 book that this code HAS the HCC symbol next to it (along w/RxHCC). I just was going to verify that this changed for 2019. So I go to the Optum 2019 ICD-10 book and this does NOT have the HCC symbol next to this code...
Does anyone have any possible insight to this, that I don't know about? It is my first year using the AAPC ICD book.
Thanks
Natalie
