Product Description

Accurate risk adjustment coding depends on more than identifying diagnoses that map to hierarchical condition categories (HCCs). This webinar reviews key risk adjustment concepts, including CMS-HCC and HHS-HCC models, risk scores, common HCC diagnoses, and documentation requirements for appropriate diagnosis capture. Learners will apply additional diagnosis and MEAT criteria, review relevant ICD-10-CM coding guidelines, and examine documentation and specificity issues that can affect HCC reporting. The webinar also highlights Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) audits and common OIG findings to reinforce compliant and accurate risk adjustment coding.

Objectives:

  • Describe key risk adjustment concepts, including HCC models, risk scores, and diagnosis capture
  • Apply documentation requirements, MEAT criteria, and ICD-10-CM guidelines to determine when HCC diagnoses are reportable
  • Identify documentation and coding issues that may affect accurate HCC capture and increase risk during RADV and OIG audits

Best malnutrition education I have seen. This is a topic that seems to come back up and this reinforced previously learned information and provided new information. Great presenter.

Although I gained a better insight on HCC’s there was too much information verbally given to take notes on.
