Adding one coder and HCC Engine increases RAF score 34% 

 

Picture this…you’re a well-established healthcare provider that has been serving the community since 1916. With a patient-centered approach to care, you’ve made a commitment to aggressively move into value-based care to improve patient care while reducing costs. However, to take on more risk-based contracts, a scalable and cost-effective approach to ensure profitability was a necessity.

The challenge

While investing in clinical initiatives improved patient care, staff realized RAF scores did not accurately match patient population. Patients were sicker than RAF scores indicated.

The solution

By hiring a single HCC coder to concurrently review value-based encounters, the practice leveraged the Aptarro software to improve RAF scores through increased HCC capture/re-capture rates.
