Risk adjustment

P93.0 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:

HCC 137 Drug Use Disorder, Moderate/Severe, or Drug Use with Non-Psychotic Complications0.424 RAF

Coefficient shown for the Community Non-dual Aged segment. A higher HCC in the same hierarchy will suppress this one, so capturing it does not always add score.
