Improve Revenue with HCC Coding

The CMS Risk Adjustment Model includes almost 80 Hierarchical Coding Conditions (HCC) categories of chronic illnesses with thousands of diagnosis codes. These HCC codes impact physician reimbursement through the RAF score which affects every physician's reimbursement no matter what CPT code is billed.

The instructor will review an HCC Quick Reference Guide, M.E.A.T. guidelines, teach participants about the Risk Adjustment Factor (RAF), and share coding strategies for success. 

Participants will learn:

  • the concepts of risk-adjusted diagnosis coding
  • how coding to the greatest level of specificity changes your reimbursement
  • why the accurate reporting of the severity of illness is so important
