Where are you in managing your risk-adjusted population?
Find out now.
As reimbursement models shift to value-based care, effectively managing the chronic conditions of your patient population is critical to revenue cycle performance.
The growth of the aging population and rising chronic disease is increasing the volume and need for value-based care (VBC).
Medicare Advantage, ACOs, and other shared savings programs are now tying reimbursements to hierarchical condition categories (HCC).
This means that it's more important than ever to make sure you are capturing the right HCCs to reflect an accurate risk adjustment factor (RAF) score for your patients.
Failing to adequately capture a patient's risk through medical documentation and coding may lead to an inaccurately low level of attributed risk and eventually to reduced reimbursement.
HCC Risk Adjustment Maturity Model
The maturity model provides an initial benchmark for how close to 'fully optimized' your organization is in regards to addressing your risk-adjusted population. It's a useful tool for leading discussions and providing management with a roadmap for your next steps, as well as for receiving proper reimbursement for the care you've provided.

Many providers are struggling to define and develop the capabilities they need to manage a value-based care model. They’re finding that lack of tools and data analytics is slowing down their progress to create an effective risk-adjusted population management strategy.
We created the HCC Risk Adjustment 3-Minute Checkup to help determine where you are in the process and to provide actions to advance to the next phase.
Capturing accurate RAF scores for your patients is key to improving quality of care and proper reimbursement.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) plans to move all Medicare providers and 50% of Medicaid and commercial contracts to VBC models by 2025. So take action now since 2025 is right around the corner. Having an accurate RAF score is vital to your system's sustainability.
Managing HCC’s requires a different approach, process and tools than what has been used in the past. So, adding to your existing process and tools is not a recipe for success. You need a way to look at patients holistically, not just the encounter.
