Wiki Any HCC coders out there?

[leannm21]

I am trying to find an HCC/Risk Adjustment coder to bounce a question off of:

I am starting HCC code training and am wondering when you are coding for the submission to CMS and you have an inpatient record do you seperate the record into each provider and code each seperately, or do you submit one 'claim' for the entire inpatient record?

Any information will be much appreciated!

Thank you!

Not HCC coder yet

Currently taking online class, but believe when you do an audit, the criteria is you are given a time frame you are auditing the chart by, don't believe it is by physician.

But not a seasoned HCC coder!

Best of luck on your studies
