Hierarchical Condition Category Documentation Guidelines
Hierarchical condition category coding(HCC) is a risk-adjustment model used to estimate future health care costs for patient. It is becoming increasingly prevalent as the environment shifts to value-based payment models. A patient with few serious health conditions would have lower medical costs and lower utilization than a patient with multiple chronic conditions. By utilizing HCC coding, physicians create a clearer picture of patient medical needs, and the costs associated with their care.
