RiskAdjustmentModel

RiskAdjustmentandHierarchicalConditionCategoryCoding

v RiskAdjustment andHierarchical Condition Category(HCC)coding isapaymentmodelmandated bytheCenters forMedicare andMedicaid Services (CMS) in1997. Implemented in2003,thismodel identifies individuals withserious orchronic illness andassigns ariskfactorscoretothepersonbaseduponacombination ofthe individual’s health conditions anddemographic details. Theindividual’s health conditions areidentified viaInternational Classification ofDiseases – 10 (ICD–10)diagnoses thataresubmitted byprovidersonincomingclaims. Therearemorethan9000ICD-10codesthatmapto79HCCcodes intheRiskAdjustment model.

v MAplans useHierarchical Condition Categories (HCCs) inordertodeterminepaymentratesfordiagnoses. TheHCCmodel usedforMApatients categorizesICD-10-CMdiagnosis codes intodisease groupsthataresimilar bothclinicallyandfinancially. CMScreates ahierarchysothatpatients' conditions arecodedforthemostseveremanifestation among relateddiseases.

HierarchicalConditionCategories(HCC)

Diagnoses thatareincluded intheRiskAdjustmentmodel aregroupedinto79differentcategories knownasHierarchical Condition Categories orHCC’s.EachHCCisassigned arisk-adjusted factor(RAF),whichisarelativeweight, similar tothe inpatient DRGsystem.

StepsforPhysicianPractices

q Ensure thatyouarecapturing allappropriateHCC’sontheclaimwithsupportingdocumentation inthemedical record

q Review andupdateNPIandTaxonomy information andkeepuptodate

q Ensure thatyouareusingvalidCPTandICD-10-CMcodes inyourencounter datanowandinthefuture

q Submit claims onALLface-to-face encounters withaqualifying provider

q Ensure thatyouaresubmitting encounters onthecorrectforms

q Timely filingofclaims

Goal - Eliminate errorsthatwillprevent aclaimfrombeingprocessed thereby increasingtheopportunity fortheHCC’storeachCMSforprocessing.

GoldenRuleofDocumentation

The Golden Rule …

“If it’s not documented by the physician/provider, it didn’t

happen.”

In healthcare compliance and in coding, there isnodeviation from thisprinciple.We can’t code it if itisn’tdocumented, and thuswe can’t bill for it.
