Synopsis

The Risk Adjustment Coding and HCC Guide brings together hard-to-find information about risk adjustment (RA) coding and hierarchical condition categories (HCCs) in a new comprehensive resource that explains this complex reimbursement methodology. Now your organization will have a guide that provides both the “big picture” and the fine detail needed to document, code, and report essential information so that accurate risk levels are assigned, and appropriate reimbursement received.
Originally developed for use by Medicare Advantage (MA) plans, HCCs are now used in a variety of value-based reimbursement (VBR) programs. Our guide helps you navigate the shift from a fee-for-service environment to VBR and provides the tools necessary to ensure risk levels and resources are aligned.
Key Features and Benefits: NEW - Optum Edge — RxHCC table. The addition of Medicare‘s RxHCC risk adjustment table that uses data derived from prescription drug usage into hierarchical condition categories for Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage prescription drug plans. NEW - User friendly format. Our new updated format provides the same great information in an easier to read format. Optum Edge - Calculate RAF scores.
