Healthy patients who are below-average Risk Adjustment Factor score from the insurance premium are transferred from healthy patients to patients with an above-average RAF score.
Under this payment model OFF White x Nike Air Force 1 Low Zwart Wit Nederland , two patients within the same practice can have a different payment rate. This is due to the variety of factors which determines the amount of riskwork involved to maintain the health of a patient.
HCC Coding
CMS uses HCC to compensate Medicare Advantage plans established on the health of their members. It compensates accurately for the anticipated cost expenditures of the patients by adjusting those payments based on demographic information as well as patient as their health status.
The risk assessment information is centered on the diagnosis data drawn from claims and medical records collected by physician offices, hospital inpatient visits and in outpatient settings.
Diseases and conditions are organized into body systems or similar disease processes. The top HCC categories include:
Asthma and pulmonary disease Diabetes Major depressive and bipolar disorders Congestive Heart Failure Specified heart arrhythmias Breast and prostate cancer Rheumatoid arthritis Colorectal, breast Nike Air Force 1 Mid 07 Wit Kopen , kidney
This new risk adjustment identifies patients and establishes the financial allocation offered by CMS towards the twelve-monthly care of every patient.
This new model is established on serious chronic health conditions. Physicians should thoroughly report on every patient risk adjustment diagnosis which is based on accurate medical record documentation.
Every detailed diagnosis is used to determine the RAF, therefore the score derived is further used to calculate the reimbursements as well as to know the future cost associated with the patient treatment.
The Bottom Line
HCC coding is the great equalizer. Earlier; before the rise of the risk adjustment model, reimbursement was based solely on demographic factors. Since costs are supposed to vary widely in patients Nike Air Force 1 Mid 07 Zwart 315123-001 Kopen , HCC risk adjustment coding can now be widely used to assess patients on the same scale.
