Healthcare providers that participate in Medicare insurance plans should use accurate HCC codes on their claims submitted to CMS.

Care and diagnosis documented in the Chart/Progress Notes and clinical findings are to be reported using the relevant ICD-9-CM codes and converted to HCC codes. The HCC codes data is submitted to CMS that calculates Medicare Risk Adjustment. The team of professional MRA coders at this reliable medical coding company has a complete
understanding of the HCC process and risk adjustment, as well as its effects on the provider, the member, the MA plan, and overall reimbursement.
