This conference will build on the success of the previous conferences while providing practical, timely updates to help you continue to evolve your medical management and healthcare finance practices with sound HCC coding.

Here is a brief message from the Director of HCC Operations (Bakersfield Family Medical) and Conference Chair, Ryan C Dodson.

“The new Risk Adjustment model has been introduced to the industry by CMS.

The fireworks that took place when the Advanced Call letter was released in February are now over. The new guidelines and changes to the HCC Model were finalized and released on April 1st.  The changes are retroactive to coding and billing that began on January 1st 2013, are you prepared?

Will these changes impact your training of your providers? How will the changes be perceived by those providers who are actively engaged in risk adjustment coding? The time to examine your HCC best practices is now, and the place is our conference event, HCC Best Practices for Proactive Medical Management.”

• Learn how the CMS Final Rate Notice and the HCC Model will affect them
• Gain best practices for system organization and workflow to enhance HCC data and outcomes
• Gain insight from an auditor’s perspective on developing a bulletproof RADV Action Plan
• Discuss positive member engagement strategies for their risk adjustment program
• Discover how using benchmarks helps determine compliance  risk
