Why Consider Professional Risk Adjustment Coding Services

Comprehensive MRA Coding Services

Payment model for Medical Risk Adjustment relies on CMS-HCC (Hierarchical Condition Category) codes that are derived from the ICD diagnostic codes. With sound knowledge in the latest coding trends and updates, our AAPC-certified medical coders report the correct HCC (Hierarchical Condition Categories) codes that CMS requires.

HCC codes are determined based on the five sources accepted by CMS, such as:

  • Principal
  • Secondary hospital inpatient
  • Hospital outpatient
  • Physician
  • Clinically trained non-physician
Accurate HCC coding services ensure precise risk assessment and helps to submit accurate and complete claims within the risk adjustment period. Our AAPC-certified medical coders, with their knowledge of various codes and the validation process and experience with insurance and governmental regulatory requirements, can provide complete medical record documentation and accurate diagnostic coding, resulting in timely reimbursement.

Our coders ensure accurate MRA coding and also identify any missing information in patient records that may not pass a CMS audit. Adhering to HIPAA guidelines, we ensure security and confidentiality for all your medical records and data.
