Webinar: Preparing for HCC
What are HCCs and why are they critical to reimbursement? What do providers need to know in order to avoid financial penalties?
In order to predict the cost of providing patient care, CMS has resurrected hierarchical condition categories (HCCs), a concept first introduced in the late 90s. The ability to predict the cost of providing care for a specific patient is a trick we’d all like to perfect. CMS is developing its version of a magic ball for this purpose and trying it out with the Medicare Advantage (MA) Program. They’re doing it by combining HCCs with risk adjustment factors (RAFs).
Without appropriate understanding of the HCC program, complete documentation, and accurate coding, HCC requirements can have a negative effect on your revenue cycle, including revenue leakage. In this live, interactive web session, we will unravel the mysteries of HCCs.
