Hierarchical condition category (HCC) coding Services

The purpose of the risk-adjustment model known as Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) coding was to better predict the financial burden of treating individual patients. The CMS HCC model, which was first implemented in 2004, is gaining popularity as the healthcare industry moves towards value-based payment structures.

ICD-10 coding is used by the Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) to evaluate patient risk. The ICD-10-CM codes for each HCC are listed below. When determining a patient's RAF score, insurance companies use HCC coding in addition to demographic information (such as age and gender). Insurance companies can utilize a patient's RAF score to estimate future expenses with the use of algorithms. It is reasonable to assume that a patient who has few major health concerns will incur typical medical costs during a particular time period. Although health care costs and use are both likely to be higher for a patient with many chronic illnesses.
