I have a coworker in the office that is promoting HCC Risk Adjustment. She claims that Medicare will send us a big check every year for using the HCC ICD10 codes. I understand that higher risk will increase the level of E/M but find it hard to believe that Medicare will send us additional money at the end of the year. I can find nothing that states this is an actual thing.
Is she correct?
Also, with the new proposed E/M payment policy, will this HCC even affect payment if it passes?
Confused.
