In the Coming Year, HCC Coding Technology

 

Utilizing HCC Coding

New Year's resolutions and opportunities are both brought by the new year. What professional goals do you have for your practice as a healthcare provider to promote change and improvement?

The third article in a series on this blog will concentrate on a crucial subject for healthcare professionals who treat Medicare Advantage patients: utilizing technology to streamline the HCC documentation process and raise RAF scores. We will discuss the CMS-HCC program's most current upgrades as well as both retrospective and prospective methods for HCC risk adjustment analytics and coding.

Assistant HCC

To ensure that HCC chances are not missed when documenting the patient visit, the HCC assistant analyses the patient chart and presents any potentially HCC-related diagnoses in real-time to the physician or the coder. The platform's real-time risk adjustment factor (RAF) scoring indicates how the codes chosen for a patient will affect their RAF score, which helps forecast future funding and expenses.

Features & Advantages:
  1. Effective Workflow: A user-friendly interface cuts down on hours of recording and researching.
  2. Turn-key: Web-based applications do not require installation or maintenance.
  3. Versatile: HCC Assistant can be accessed via your EHR, used independently, or integrated using an API.
  4. Advanced Rules Engine: Analyzes charts in real-time using NLP and sophisticated coding techniques.
  5. Economical: There are no additional fees, and the pricing is straightforward so you only pay for what you require.
It's also crucial to note that the HCC Assistant is updated annually to reflect any modifications to CMS regulations, so at the beginning of the year, it will recommend codes that reflect CMS amendments for the release of the 2020 rate schedule.

The HCC Validator, an add-on product from Inferscience that works with the HCC Assistant, ensures that all documentation is checked and validated. The HCC Validator immediately compares HCC codes to MEAT requirements using cutting-edge NLP technology and assigns a "Pass" or "Fail" score. SaaS-based, it integrates with top EHRs and can also be utilized independently.

Using HCC Coding tools like the HCC Assistant and HCC Validator can make it easier to document risk adjustment and HCC coding in the coming year and produce outcomes that will motivate change for your practice.
