It is the process of accurately documenting and coding patient conditions that affect risk scores and reimbursement.
Organizations that are part of value-based care and Medicare Advantage programs need to get the coding of risk adjustments right. Acuity Health Solutions supports health plans, Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), Management Services Organizations (MSOs), and provider organizations to enhance coding accuracy, optimize clinical documentation, minimize compliance issues, and establish sustainable risk adjustment initiatives. With the clinical, technical, and quality assurance skills of our expert coding specialists, we guarantee that every condition recorded is precisely captured, validated and supported.
There is a common misconception among many organizations that the problems of risk adjustment are driven by a lack of coders. In fact, clinical documentation, accurate coding, provider engagement, compliance, reporting and operational workflows must all align to ensure successful risk adjustment.
Typical problems which may occur in a program include:
The accuracy of RAF is low.
These issues can cause reimbursement inaccuracies and make auditing more prone to risks if not handled in a structured manner.
Our approach is on accuracy and not chart volume.
One of many vendors’ measures of success is the number of charts looked at. Success is measured in terms of coding accuracy, documentation quality, auditing defensibility and sustainable RAF improvement.

It is the process of accurately documenting and coding patient conditions that affect risk scores and reimbursement.
Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCCs) are diagnosis groupings used to calculate patient risk and reimbursement.
Accurate RAF scores help ensure reimbursement reflects patient complexity and expected care needs.
