HCC 263: Atherosclerosis of Arteries of the Extremities with Ulceration or Gangrene ICD-10-CM
CMS-HCC Category 263 (Atherosclerosis of Arteries of the Extremities with Ulceration or Gangrene) is a payment HCC in the V28 Medicare Advantage risk adjustment model. For payment year 2026 it adds a risk adjustment factor between 0.696 and 1.432 to a beneficiary's RAF score depending on the payment segment (1.118 for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee). 127 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes map to HCC 263. It sits at the top of its hierarchy: no other condition category supersedes it.
RAF Weight by Payment Segment 7 segments
| Payment Segment | Relative Factor |
|---|---|
| Community, non-dual, aged | 1.118 |
| Community, partial-benefit dual, aged | 1.007 |
| Community, full-benefit dual, aged | 1.432 |
| Community, non-dual, disabled | 1.066 |
| Community, partial-benefit dual, disabled | 1.056 |
| Community, full-benefit dual, disabled | 1.276 |
| Institutional | 0.696 |
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. HCC 263 in turn supersedes HCC 264 (Vascular Disease with Complications), HCC 383 (Chronic Ulcer of Skin, Except Pressure, Not Specified as Through to Bone or Muscle), and HCC 409 (Amputation Status, Lower Limb/Amputation Complications).
