Another Year – Another HCC
Every year, CMS turns the clock back to zero on HCCs. Diagnoses that were reported in the previous year and used for Risk Adjustment to determine acuity of members in a Medicare Advantage Plan are “dropped off” by CMS and the member is back to zero diagnosis codes in their Risk profile. CMS recommends reporting chronic conditions at minimum, once per year in order to effectively capture a members Health Risk Profile.
