Key insights: (1) V28 and chart review exclusion are complementary reforms targeting different dimensions of upcoding ($7.6B + $7B = ~$14B annual impact), (2) 70% unsupported diagnosis rate from OIG audits reveals systematic gaming at scale, (3) HCC payment structure creates direct financial incentive for code maximization independent of care needs. The mechanical detail on how risk adjustment works (capitation adjusted by diagnosis-based risk scores) explains why chart reviews and in-home assessments exist as code-capture infrastructure with no care delivery function." --- ## Content
