Risk-adjustment practices consider chronic diseases as predictors of future healthcare needs and expenses. Detailed documentation and compliant diagnosis coding are critical for proper risk adjustment. Risk Adjustment Documentation & Coding provides: - Risk adjustment parameters to improve documentation related to severity of illness and chronic diseases. - Code abstraction designed to improve diagnostic coding accuracy without causing financial harm to the practice or health facility. The impact of risk adjustment coding--also called hierarchical condition category (HCC) coding--on a practice should not be underestimated: - More than 75 million Americans are enrolled in risk-adjusted insurance plans. This population represents more than 20% of those insured in the United States. - Insurance risk pools under the Affordable Care Act include risk adjustment. - CMS has proposed expanding audits on risk adjustment coding. Meticulous diagnostic documentation and coding is key to accurate risk-adjustment reporting. This book will help align the industry though an objective compilation and presentation of risk adjustment documentation and coding issues, guidance, and federal resources.
