Use case Risk Adjustment

Leverage risk adjustment analytics for accessible, quality care

Risk adjustment analytics provide a statistical method that seeks to predict a person’s likely use and costs of health care services. The methodology equates the health status of a person to a number, called a risk score, to predict healthcare costs.

Risk adjustment is critical to adequately compensate health insurance plans so they maintain coverage and access to care for beneficiaries likely to incur higher-than-average costs. Providers also play an important role in risk adjustment as the health plans will look at diagnosis codes that providers submit on claims to understand a patient’s risk factor.

The Challenge

Insufficient data causes unreliable risk adjustment and poor patient and provider outcomes

Diagnosis data contained in medical claims is the primary mechanism for communication between providers the health plans and should be comprehensive of the conditions positively assessed during each visit. But only using claims data and select chart audits gives an incomplete picture of the disease burden of a patient population. These data gaps represent missed opportunities for more accurate documentation and result in lower quality care and lower reimbursement for provider organizations.

The solution

Utilize risk adjustment analytics to deliver a more comprehensive view of population health

When patients’ health history is more accurately documented, providers and leadership engaged in risk adjustment get a full understanding of their performance and opportunities. This makes it easier for providers to identify and assess suspected diagnoses at the point of care resulting in more accurate documentation. Increased reimbursement from payers can be reinvested back into better patient care.

Advanced risk adjustment analytics close risk gaps with accurate, comprehensive data.
