Why Single-Path Coding is Significant

Tracey Cartwright
CEO
CHIM International

For organizations that meet the people-process-technology trifecta, single-path coding may just be the next step they need to take in this ever-evolving industry. Discussion will include the significant benefits of the single path coding model, and how it will enable healthcare organizations to be well positioned for moving into value-based care models.

HCC Coding the Key to Risk Adjustment

Angela James, MBA, RHIA, CCS
Health Information Management Compliance Manager
St. Elizabeth Healthcare

In this session we will review the relationship between Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCC) coding and Risk Adjustment. The risk adjustment model was initially created to assist in estimating future health care costs for Medicare Advantage plan patients. But over the last decade, the value-based mindset has evolved to include risk adjustment and HCC coding plays a key role in that transition.

You will leave with an understanding of the history of HCC coding and risk adjustments, the HCC reimbursement methodology and how this correlates with the risk adjustment factor (RAF). Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) HCC reporting rules and the RADV audit process along with pertinent ICD-10 coding guidelines and key documentation issues that impact your HCC coding. Also included will be a look into how accurately capturing HCC’s can assist in elevating your facilities Medicare Star Rating.

This session will offer HCC information for both professional coders and explain why facility coders need to be more aware of the importance of HCC codes.

12:00pm - 1:00pm
Lunch Break

In-person attendees will be provided lunch. During lunch, take some time to network with your colleagues and our event sponsors!
