Download or read book Medicare Risk Adjustment and Hierarchical Condition Category HCC written by V. G and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk Adjustment and Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) coding is a payment model mandated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in 1997. Implemented in 2003, this model identifies individuals with serious or chronic illness and assigns a risk factor score to the person based upon a combination of the individual's health conditions and demographic details. The individual's health conditions are identified via International Classification of Diseases - 10 (ICD -10) diagnoses that are submitted by providers on incoming claims. There are more than 9000 ICD-10 codes that map to 79 HCC codes in the Risk Adjustment model. CMS requires documentation in the person's medical record by a qualified health care provider to support the submitted diagnosis. Documentation must support the presence of the condition and indicate the provider's assessment and/or plan for management of the condition. This must occur at least once each calendar year in order for CMS to recognize the individual continues to have the condition. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Risk Adjustment Model includes nearly 80 HCC categories of chronic illnesses with thousands of diagnosis codes. Beginning HCC coders need solid instruction on HCC coding to properly map codes and ensure the organization receives the reimbursement payments. This webinar educates the audience on HCC coding and discusses popular risk adjustment coding guidelines. It identifies what makes a document valid for submission, including which sources of documentation should or should not be used. Attendees will have the opportunity to review common mistakes, like a lack of specificity in provider documentation. Often overlooked conditions, which are frequently undocumented by the provider, are also explained. The presenter will give a brief demonstration on how to determine if a condition is reimbursed or not, as well as a case study showing how to apply the theories learned. Through clarification of codes and specific examples, the speaker underscores the importance of provider documentation and its impact on reimbursement. This session is a great overall introduction for beginners and the perfect refresher course for those who have already begun and want to enhance their knowledge in the field. Objectives Learn about HCC coding and risk adjustment coding guidelines. Demonstrate how mapping tools help to properly identify HCCs. Understand the importance of provider documentation and its impact on reimbursement. Risk adjustment in the CMS- HCC model characteristics is based on multiple factors, which are analyzed and reduced to offer the right risk management plan for a patient. The factors that influence risk adjustment includes: Hierarchy of diseases: Ensuring that diagnoses are included in the appropriate disease groups and are in accordance with the necessary hierarchy. Disease Interactions: The additional factors that recognize and assess the severity of multiple conditions. Demographic Variables: These focus on the demographic of the patient's living conditions and demographics. Diagnostic Sources: CMS recognizes diagnoses from a hospital's inpatient, outpatient and physician settings only. Prospective model: The diagnoses based on last year are used to extrapolate the possible payments for the next year. Multiple conditions A patient can have multiple HCC categories assigned to them based on their medical conditions. In some cases, specific conditions can override others, when documenting. This is based on the strict hierarchy of the coding procedures. HCCs are captured once a year, every year in order for the CMS to reimburse payments to the Medicare Advantage. However, diagnoses from previous years are used to establish capitation payments to the Medicare Advantage plan.

This book was released on 2019-03-09 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk adjustment is a method to offset the cost of providing health insurance for individuals--such as those with chronic health conditions--who represent a relatively high risk to insurers. Under risk adjustment, an insurer who enrolls a greater-than-average number of high-risk individuals receives compensation to make up for extra costs associated with those enrollees.In the absence of risk adjustment policies, insurers have a financial incentive to deny coverage to higher risk individuals, and to write exclusions into policies or impose unaffordable premiums for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions. Risk adjustment aims to make comprehensive insurance available to all individuals, regardless of risk, and to allow plans that insure sicker-than-average populations to charge similar average premiums as plans that insure relatively healthy populations.The risk adjustment model enacted under the Affordable Care Act (ACA, or "Obamacare") is budget neutral. Total payments to insurers do not increase. Rather, insurers covering a relatively greater number of healthy individuals must contribute to a risk adjustment pool that funds additional payments to those insurers covering a larger portion of high-risk individuals.Risk adjustment models typically use an individual's demographic data (age, sex, etc.) and diagnoses to determine a risk score. The risk score is a relative measure of the probable costs to insure the individual. To cite a simple example, an individual with diabetes will have a higher risk score (his or her predicted healthcare costs will be greater) than an otherwise statistically identical individual without diabetes. Older individuals typically have a higher risk score than younger individuals, and those individuals with a personal or family history of certain conditions may garner a higher risk score than individuals without such a history.There are several risk adjustment models. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS) risk adjustment model uses the Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) method to calculate risk scores. This method ranks diagnoses into categories that represent conditions with similar cost patterns. Higher categories represent higher predicted healthcare costs. For example, diabetes with complications is ranked "higher" (resulting in a higher risk score and thus greater expected healthcare costs) than diabetes without complications. An individual may be included in more than one HCC.Diagnoses are reported using ICD-10-CM codes Not every diagnosis will "risk adjust," or map to an HCC. Acute illness and injury are not reliably predictive of ongoing costs, as are long-term conditions such as diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic heart failure (CHF), multiple sclerosis (MS), and chronic hepatitis; however, some risk adjustment models may include severe conditions relevant to a young demographics (such as pregnancy) and congenital abnormalities.All risk adjustment models depend on complete and accurate reporting of patient data. CMS requires that a qualified healthcare provider identify all chronic conditions and severe diagnoses for each patient, to substantiate a "base year" health profile for those individuals. Documentation in the medical record must support the presence of the condition and indicate the provider's assessment and plan for management of the condition. This must occur at least once each calendar year for CMS to recognize that the individual continues to have the condition. This information is used to predict costs in the following year. As such, incorrect or non-specific diagnoses can affect not only patient care and outcomes, but also reimbursement for that care, going forward.

This must occur at least once each calendar year in order for CMS to recognize the individual continues to have the condition. Accurate HCC coding information helps create a more complete picture of the complexity of a patient population, improves the value of the problem list, and enables better management of a patient's chronic diseases. And better documentation that captures the full complexity of the patient often results in appropriately higher reimbursement. Current challenges and opportunities Provider organizations are facing several challenges as they plan for HCC coding and documentation: 1) Provider engagement, education, and incentive alignment Impacts to workflow and efficiency. 2) Insufficient or incomplete medical record documentation in the EHR. 3) EHR disconnect and poor problem list utilization. 4) Incorrect coding. 5) Inferior or non-existent HCC-specific analysis and prioritization. The Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) is a yearly preventative care visit offered at no cost to all Medicare Part B beneficiaries. The purpose of the visit is to identify patient risk factors and plan for future preventative service needs. This visit is well reimbursed and can be conducted by any licensed health professional or a team of professionals, under the direct supervision of a physician. While the AWV is recognized as an important benefit, 82.3% of Medicare beneficiaries did not receive an AWV in 2015. The bottom line is that patients want time with their physicians to discuss their health. Our clients have professed repeatedly that they see a difference in patient engagement as they capture more AWVs.With changes like value-based purchasing putting revenue at risk, accurate documentation is even more critical. A good physician query process helps, but relying on queries alone leaves money on the table.You need to prevent documentation errors from happening in the first place by getting your physicians to pay closer attention to what they write down.The medical record should tell a story. Coding specialist need to understand what the physician is thinking and know when the provider isn't documenting the complete information to assign the most specific diagnosis code. Ensure that all opportunities for documentation improvement are identified.For the medical record to be accurate and timely, a physician query process should be in place. Ongoing chart reviews and provider education reinforces the essential points of good documentation and helps to bridge the gap between what the provider needs clinically documented in the medical record from one visit to the next, and the coding guidelines that are required to support the codes being submitted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) is defined as a risk adjustment model that is used to calculate risk scores to predict future healthcare costs. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) CMS-HCC model is used to predict healthcare spending for Medicare Advantage Plan enrollees. The purpose of the scoring model is to adjust capitated payments made to beneficiaries in these plans based on the member's health. HCCs were initially implemented by CMS in 2000 and have been phased in over time. This article will focus on the CMS-HCC model.The model is based on diagnosis codes and includes 79 HCCs. Age, sex, disability, and living circumstances--such as whether the individual is living at home, in a nursing home, or in a long-term care facility--also play a part in the calculations of an HCC.

This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providers have been counseled to code "to the highest specificity," yet are not taught how to accomplish it. Already overworked and often underpaid the Provider doesn't have time to plow through all the rules and regulations to produce the solution. Risk Adjustment Factor Made Easy hopes to cut through the jungle of red-tape, thick textbooks, and laborious internet searches to equip the Provider with quick access to the knowledge needed to be successful while providing references on topics for more exploration when desired. In this version of the Hierarchical Condition Coding (HCC) and Risk-Adjustment Factor (RAF) coding book, the busy provider will receive a simple short-cut to all the information necessary to be successful. This book is quick; easy-to-understand; focuses on common mistakes made by Providers and displays examples of proper coding with appropriate details to help the Provider describe the illnesses of their patients more effectively.HCC/RAF is designed to estimate a patient's "future" health care costs. With the changing of the payment system for Providers from "Paid for Services Rendered" to "Risk-Adjustment Value-Based Care" adherence to coding guidelines are vital to a Provider's bottom line. With the coding details listed, you will learn which codes carry high value and why the codes currently used are not increasing your risk score; thereby, lowering potential earnings. The business end of the practice often suffers because of simple coding errors. This RAF book will arm the provider with the tools necessary to ensure success in the "Value-Based Care" system. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Barbara Jane Deaton, MSN, FNP-BC, ENP-BCBarbara holds a Master of Science in Nursing and is dually certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner and an Emergency Nurse Practitioner. She owns her own practice in North Carolina and is deeply involved in Risk Adjustment Factor Coding. She has been recognized by a major insurance agency for her understanding of the Risk Adjustment Factor and its role in the future of medicine. Her own risk score has significantly increased by implementing the rules contained in this book.Barbara has won numerous awards since entering the medical field. Among her awards are "Best Nurse Practitioner Award in Morganton, NC 2018" for Inclusion in the 2019-2020 Edition of Worldwide Leaders in Healthcare: nominated Best Nurse Practitioner Preceptor 2019 by Perdue University: Business of the Year Award in Burke County, NC Foundation Award; and the Emergency Physicians Award by the United States Commerce Association.NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Over the past year, as I became more interested in the Risk Adjustment Factor (RAF), I realized that much of my research portrayed RAF as complex and extremely difficult to learn. When I began putting RAF into play in my own practice, I realized that as a Family Provider, the main codes continued to reappear. The techniques developed became second nature. Gifted with the ability to translate complex medical problems into simple language for some of my uneducated patients; I became aware that this gift should be used to break down the barriers that exist with Risk Adjustment Factor Coding. This book is written in a simplified format with characterizations to help get the point across. By placing these techniques into practice, the patient's illnesses will be accurately portrayed, and the Provider's bottom line will improve

This book was released on 2020-09-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These guidelines have been approved by the four organizations that make up the Cooperating Parties for the ICD-10-CM: the American Hospital Association (AHA), the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), CMS, and NCHS. These guidelines are a set of rules that have been developed to accompany and complement the official conventions and instructions provided within the ICD-10-CM itself. The instructions and conventions of the classification take precedence over guidelines. These guidelines are based on the coding and sequencing instructions in the Tabular List and Alphabetic Index of ICD-10-CM, but provide additional instruction. Adherence to these guidelines when assigning ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes is required under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The diagnosis codes (Tabular List and Alphabetic Index) have been adopted under HIPAA for all healthcare settings. A joint effort between the healthcare provider and the coder is essential to achieve complete and accurate documentation, code assignment, and reporting of diagnoses and procedures. These guidelines have been developed to assist both the healthcare provider and the coder in identifying those diagnoses that are to be reported. The importance of consistent, complete documentation in the medical record cannot be overemphasized. Without such documentation accurate coding cannot be achieved. The entire record should be reviewed to determine the specific reason for the encounter and the conditions treated.
