Hierarchical Condition Category coding is the mechanism CMS uses to calculate Risk Adjustment Factor scores for Medicare Advantage plans and other risk-based contracts. Each HCC code assigned to a patient represents a documented chronic or complex condition. The accuracy of those assignments directly determines the plan's risk-adjusted revenue. Undercoding means the plan is not compensated for the true complexity of its member population. Overcoding creates RADV audit exposure. Accurate, well-documented HCC coding is the foundation of a defensible RAF score.
Every code assigned by our team must be supported by a physician-documented diagnosis in the medical record, specific to the encounter year. Our certified coders are trained on CMS HCC model map criteria and apply them at the chart level. The four-eye review process adds a second certified coder review before any code is finalized. AI-assisted consistency checks flag anomalies across the coded batch, and denial prediction tools surface high-risk code combinations before submission. The certified coder makes every final call.
At several stages of our workflow, AI tools assist the certified coder. At intake, document classification tools organize the chart batch. At the review stage, natural language processing surfaces probable HCC codes from unstructured notes. At the pre-submission stage, denial prediction tools flag high-risk code combinations. In every case, the certified coder reviews the AI output and makes the final decision on every code assigned. The automation handles pattern recognition and load management. The expert owns the clinical and compliance judgment. No code is submitted without coder sign-off.
Pricing starts at $1,280 per FTE per month for dedicated certified coder capacity. Volume-based and hybrid models are available for plans with variable submission cycles. Engagement terms are structured to align with CMS submission calendars and RADV audit cycles. Contact our team to discuss the model that fits your current chart volume and compliance requirements.
