ICD-10 to HCC/RAF Pipeline: Why Same Codes Yield Different Scores
ICD-10 codes don't directly carry RAF weights; they map to HCCs via a crosswalk, then hierarchies remove less severe conditions before summing coefficients. The same code set produces different scores under CMS-HCC V24 vs V28 due to different maps and coefficients. Developers need current crosswalk, hierarchy, coefficient, and interaction tables for accurate computation.

A clear technical explainer for health-tech developers, but the self-promotional plug for the author's calculator undermines its neutrality.
