HCC’s and Risk Adjustment

What can your practice do to avoid missed opportunities for reimbursements? Well, Welter Healthcare Partners has the answer for you regarding the risk adjustment model and factor calculations.nnWe continue to see the risk adjustment model being implemented by several large hospital groups and the sooner small practices catch in the better off their business models will be. So why is this so important?nIt’s simple, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) utilizes this in the analysis of Medicare Advantage patients and that ultimately is a major factor when it comes to your reimbursements. What can your practice do to avoid missed opportunities?nThe first step to the implementation of anything new is education. Make sure your providers are aware of HCC’s and how they play a roll in risk adjustment factor calculations. Welter Healthcare Partners is excited to now offer our clients Risk Adjustment auditing and educations to assist you and your team with the implementation of HCC’s in your documentation, billing, and coding.
