4 Risk Adjustment Defined Risk Adjustment is a payment methodology used to adjust bidding and payment based on the health status and demographic characteristics of an enrollee Risk adjustment is most relevant for health plans and health systems with delegated risk 4
5 Risk Adjustment Process Overview Prospective risk adjustment: Physicians must document a face-to-face encounter in the progress note during the year, and bill for the visit The diagnoses are submitted by the plan to CMS via a RAPS/EDPS files Retrospective risk adjustment: Health plans review prior year medical records to ensure accurately documented encounters were submitted for reimbursement Codes are submitted through a RAPS/EDPS file to CMS All codes must be backed by documentation Glossary: CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services); RAPS (Risk Adjustment Payment System); EDPS (Encounter Data Processing System) 7

8 Five Myths That Could Stop You From Achieving Your Financial Objectives The most common myths seen across some of the leading health plans and systems can be grouped into five major categories: Data and Analytics Retrospective Reviews Physician Workflow Compliance Operational Oversight 10
9 Myth #1 Data and Analytics Your EMR s problem list is the best source for risk adjustable conditions MYTH REALITY 11
10 Best Practices Data and Analytics Don t expect the problem list to be the most accurate source for risk adjustment opportunities Claims data is a more reliable source of truth Invest in an analytics tool that informs your problem list based on multiple sources 12
11 Myth #2 Retrospective Reviews Retrospective chart reviews are sufficient for risk adjustment MYTH REALITY 13
12 Best Practices Retrospective Reviews Retrospective chart reviews tend to be largely a revenue cycle activity Invest in prospective risk adjustment for the long-term Exposes the physician to additional diagnoses that a patient may have Increases the clinical insight and informs other activities like care management Drives more complete and accurate documentation 14
13 Myth #3 Physician Workflow One size workflow fits all MYTH REALITY 15
14 Best Practices Physician Workflow Have more than one way to view and attest suspect conditions in place to support a diverse physician network Develop and sustain a rigorous communication and training program 16
15 Spotlight Engaging Physicians Multi-modal delivery of risk adjustment opportunities across physician network >> PAPER CLOUD-BASED WORKFLOW EMR INTEGRATION Concierge service for delivery and retrieval of risk adjustment forms Cloud-based workflow that automates risk adjustment processes, can be integrated to native EMR Custom risk adjustment process embedded in the native EMR Bringing risk adjustment insights to your physicians at the point-of-care >> CENTRALIZED ANALYTICS PRIORITIZED WORKFLOW DATA-DRIVEN DIALOGUE HCC Code HCC Code HCC Code Eliminates double documentation and false signals Increases practice efficiency, optimizes physician time Enhances quality of patient-physician encounter 17
16 Myth #4 Compliance Risk adjustment: Set it and forget it? MYTH REALITY 18
17 Best Practices Compliance Proactively invest in software and infrastructure to ensure compliance and reduce errors Conduct mapping exercises to help identify where gaps may occur Enable governance checks and balances Hold mock RADV audits 19
18 Spotlight The Swoben Case Case alleged that insurers infrastructure was a one-way coding process that skewed the Medicare Advantage data reported to CMS An appeals court stated that CMS has always required insurers have an obligation to undertake due diligence to ensure the accuracy, completeness and truthfulness of the encounter data submitted Swoben was involved in a prior case that resulted in a $320M settlement between the state and his former employer 20
19 Myth #5 Operational Oversight Technology is the answer to solve risk adjustment MYTH REALITY 21
20 Best Practices Operational Oversight Pair technology with accountable operations Experienced staff to manage tactics, mitigate risk and deliver results Continuous improvement that enables year-overyear process efficiencies 22
21 Spotlight Next Gen ACOs MONITORED KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS STREAMLINED PROVIDER WORKLOAD Number of outstanding dx Number of HCCs verified by claims Percentage of population with Annual Wellness Visits (AWV) Number of high priority patients seen for AWV HCC re-documentation rate Outstanding chronic HCCs Projected RA score Percentage of providers with RA training 21
22 Final Thoughts Risk adjustment is a critical component of your value-based clinical and financial strategy There is no silver bullet to risk adjustment Keep compliance top of mind Technology by itself is not enough, invest in experienced staff, education and communication 24
