Medical knowledge doubled in time over 3.5 years in 2010. It continues to increase exponentially. By 2020, it’s projected to double in just 73 days!¹ How will medical practitioners manage this power in their day-to-day professions? In the patient setting, knowledge is power only if we know what facts to entertain. As an MD, this means recognizing what patient information to document and how, so correct coding follows.

The ABCs of HCCs: Decoding CMS's Hierarchical Condition Categories

By Holly J. Cassano, CPC

Posted on: April 14, 2011

In 2004 Medicare implemented an HCC (Hierarchical Condition Categories) model to adjust capitation payments to private health care plans for the health expenditure risk of their enrollees.  The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Risk Adjustment Model measures the disease burden that includes 70 HCC categories, which are correlated to diagnosis codes. CMS' model is accumulative, meaning that a patient can have more than one HCC category assigned to them. Some categories override other categories and there is a hierarchy of categories.

Improve Information Governance with a Quick Assessment

The world of healthcare IT is rapidly changing and CIOs are finding that traditional governance models are not sustainable in the “fee for value” world.

Too often today we hear from both CIOs and clinical leaders that IT is operating in a silo and not well aligned with the emerging needs of the organization. Meaningful use and ICD-10 projects are good examples.

ICD-10 at AHIMA: Five takeaways for a successful transition

Author Name Jennifer Bresnick   |   Date October 7, 2014   | 

The ICD-10 transition was a topic of much discussion at the 2014 AHIMA Convention last week, and there was just as much optimism as sunshine in San Diego during the show.  Health information management (HIM) professionals are at the core of the complicated code switch, currently scheduled for October 1, 2015, and the meeting confirmed the general feeling that the industry should just get on with it already.

Health System Creates ICD-10 Coding Outsourcing Firm

Called HealthForce, the new division will help providers improve coding.

North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System of Great Neck, NY, one of the nation’s largest health systems, has created a new division called HealthForce to help other providers improve their coding prior to the ICD10 transition next year, according to Globe Newswire.

North Shore-LIJ officials said they created the unit to help other providers that may be struggling with contemporary coding guidelines. Effective Oct. 1, 2015, all providers and payers will have to use the ICD-10 coding system to bill claims. That deadline has already been pushed back several times.
