HCC 180: Quadriplegia ICD-10-CM
CMS-HCC Category 180 (Quadriplegia) is a payment HCC in the V28 Medicare Advantage risk adjustment model. For payment year 2026 it adds a risk adjustment factor between 0.735 and 1.399 to a beneficiary's RAF score depending on the payment segment (1.125 for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee). 33 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes map to HCC 180. A more severe related category (HCC 191 and HCC 192) supersedes it when both are reported.
RAF Weight by Payment Segment 7 segments
| Payment Segment | Relative Factor |
|---|---|
| Community, non-dual, aged | 1.125 |
| Community, partial-benefit dual, aged | 1.311 |
| Community, full-benefit dual, aged | 1.068 |
| Community, non-dual, disabled | 0.986 |
| Community, partial-benefit dual, disabled | 1.399 |
| Community, full-benefit dual, disabled | 1.095 |
| Institutional | 0.735 |
A beneficiary is scored in exactly one segment, set by Medicaid (dual) status, aged or disabled entitlement, and residence. Factors are relative weights, not dollar amounts; new-enrollee segments score on demographics only. In the hierarchy, HCC 191 (Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy) and HCC 192 (Cerebral Palsy, Except Quadriplegic) supersede HCC 180 when reported together. HCC 180 in turn supersedes HCC 181 (Paraplegia), HCC 182 (Spinal Cord Disorders/Injuries), HCC 253 (Hemiplegia/Hemiparesis), and HCC 254 (Monoplegia, Other Paralytic Syndromes).
