Risk Adjustment Coding

Risk Adjustment Coding Services

Risk adjustment coding determines per-member payments across Medicare Advantage (CMS-HCC), ACA commercial (HHS-HCC) and several Medicaid managed care models (CDPS). Our certified risk adjustment coders apply the model logic that matches each contract — not a one-size approach — and validate every captured condition against documentation.

Risk Adjustment Models We Support

Contract structure determines model logic, and model logic determines how conditions must be documented and captured. We align coding to the model that governs each population rather than applying a single template.

  • CMS-HCC for Medicare Advantage and ACO populations
  • HHS-HCC for ACA commercial risk pools
  • CDPS and state-specific Medicaid managed care models
  • Retrospective, prospective and concurrent review workflows
  • Chronic condition recapture tracking across the calendar year
  • Provider documentation coaching on specificity and linkage

Revenue Integrity and Audit Readiness

Deep-dive review identifies systematic coding gaps and unlocks documented revenue that current workflows miss — while keeping every capture defensible under RADV, OIG and payer audit review.

  • Documentation validation before any condition is captured
  • Queries issued for unsupported suspect conditions
  • Coding rationale retained for each captured condition
  • Reporting on recapture rate, acuity and open suspects

Working Alongside Your Coding Team

Engagements can run as full outsourced risk adjustment coding, as an overlay audit on internal coding, or as periodic recapture sweeps ahead of submission deadlines — whichever fits the practice's existing capacity.
