2022 HCC Risk Adjustment Tools for Physicians and Coders

 

Is Your Team Risk Ready?

Arm Your Team For Combat This Risk Adjustment Season!

Prepare for Victory...

What will define those who claim victory and those who are defeated in the battle towards value based care? Will it be those organizations with the most money, power and seats at the table? Or will it be those who are nimble, flexible and open to change?

I believe it will be both. As victory will not be defined by the owners and head coaches but instead by how the players execute on the field. It will be the game time decisions that matter most. A quarterback who can read the defense and adjust accordingly will provide far greater value to the offense than the most athletic quarterback who misses the blitz every time.

Perhaps Napoleon said it best, "Battles are won by the power of the mind." For in a game of inches, the winners and losers will be defined by those who can execute in the moments that matter most. Prepare your team for victory with information at the point of care!

Coding from the Problem List or Past Medical History

Over the last few weeks I have received so many emails from coders with this question, “Is it okay for my team to code for conditions listed in the problem list or past medical history only? If not, why? Can you send me a guideline?”

The answer is NO – Your team should NEVER code for conditions that are listed in the problem list or past medical history only. Why? Per ICD-10 Coding Guidelines, codes should only be assigned for documented conditions that coexist at the time of the encounter/visit, and require or affect patient care, treatment, or management.

Coding professionals should not assign codes based solely on diagnoses noted in the history, problem list and/or a medication list. It is the provider’s responsibility to document that the chronic condition affected care and management of the patient for that encounter.

If the medical record is unclear or ambiguous regarding which condition(s) affected patient care and /or management of the patient, query the provider for clarification.

There is overwhelming evidence to support this practice.
