Comprehensive, efficient retrospective risk adjustment program
For health plans subject to performing risk adjustment, their retrospective risk adjustment process may be costly, inefficient and wasteful in many ways:
- Wasted resources and expense when managing multiple vendors
- Unnecessary provider abrasion caused by retrieving unproductive charts
- Disrupting providers with manual chart retrieval and review
- Manual coding can miss potential unreported diagnosis codes and leave coding accuracy incomplete
The key to efficient chart review is minimizing disruption to the provider workflow to increase participation and enhance long-term relationships.
