Q&A ICD-10-CM Impact on HCC

How has ICD-10-CM impacted the coding of CMS-HCC conditions? An example would be for MDD it will be important for the provider to mention the severity (mild, moderate, severe) or clinical status since Depression (ICD-9-CM: 311) now maps to Major Depressive Disorder, Initial Episode, Unspecified (ICD-10-CM: F32.9). If the provider mentions the severity or clinical status then it will risk adjust. If not, then it doesn't map to risk. Are there any other nuances that you've noticed?
