New Online Course! CMS-HCC Risk Adjustment Model Version 28: Be Proactive What can you do to mitigate the impact of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Hierarchical Condition Codes (CMS-HCC) risk adjustment model Version 28? This online course reveals a proactive approach to mitigating the potential negative impact of Version 28 through proper identification of diseases and conditions coupled with addressing, assessing, and properly treating those diseases. It follows clinical and coding guidelines to address diagnoses and conditions for which the risk adjustment factor has been eliminated or reduced. It does this through a disciplined approach of reviewing co-morbid conditions, alternative diagnoses, and improved specificity. In all cases, the primary purpose is to treat the patient's diagnoses and conditions to improve the quality of life for the patient.
