Note from the ACDIS Interim Director

A breakdown of CMS’s 2024 HCC proposed changes

by Laurie Prescott, RN, MSN, CCDS, CCDS-O, CDIP, CRC

Medicare released proposed changes to the CMS-HCC Risk Adjustment Model for payment year 2024 in early February, with a public comment period ending the first week in March. The proposed changes (Model V28) would make significant changes to the existing V24. V24 was structured using the ICD-9-CM codes and, although translated to ICD-10-CM, did not provide the granularity we are now able to with code assignment. This change means that more specificity in code assignment will be required in a number of condition categories.
