While I make every effort to present accurate and current information, ICD-10-CM codes, CC/MCC designations, HCC categories, RAF scores, POA indicators, and coding rules are updated regularly by CMS. Users are responsible for:

• Following applicable coding guidelines, payer-specific rules, and local coverage determinations
