In Diseases of arteries, arterioles and capillaries (I70-I79), chapter 9: Diseases of the Circulatory System
23 billable codes under I77: 9 are an MCC, 3 are a CC; 1 map to HCC 93 (Rheumatoid Arthritis and Other Specified Inflammatory Rheumatic Disorders).A CC or MCC (major CC) is a secondary diagnosis that raises the MS-DRG payment. An HCC counts toward a Medicare Advantage patient's risk score.
