Embedded within your care team, our navigators are HIPPA compliant and trained to update EHRs to reflect the most accurate Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC), co-existing conditions, and population health trends.
For proper reimbursement providers must report the HCC code, and show documentation to support the claim. A 65-year-old diabetic patient may have a higher RAF score than a 30-year-old patient with the same condition, however, all too often with incomplete documentation, and lack of medical history notes, you may not be able to tell their health records apart. And neither will CMS…
If your EHR documentation is not kept current and detailed, millions of dollars’ worth of work could vanish. In today’s value-based environment, painting a complete picture of the patient’s disease burden, and the care provided over the course of the calendar year is essential, and impacts every physician’s reimbursement.
To win at reporting in light of the CMS predictive tool, ScribeAmerica Navigators bridge the gap between provider and patient to ensure every encounter is accurately documented in the EHR while addressing the MEAT guidelines: Monitor | Evaluate | Address | Treat. For HCC, providers must write a linking statement for each HCC code, for example “Diabetes with ophthalmological manifestations.” ScribeAmerica Navigators prompt providers to confirm the medical record includes an updated linking statement as well as:
We provide patient engagement that not only improves personalized medicine but also minimizes the time providers spend reporting the level of complexities of a patient’s disease burden required by CMS. We facilitate RAF-HCC coding with a workforce of highly skilled navigators to ensure providers are reimbursed for the level of care delivered, and reduce the negative financial impact of late reporting.
