Why HCC Coding Technology is Important for Healthcare Organizations

To get started with the topic of HCC Coding technology, let’s talk about some of the reasons why technology is important for your healthcare organization in the new year. One of the primary reasons includes staying up to date with CMS’ extensive policies and regulations. CMS requires that providers have a patient encounter each calendar year, and as mentioned in an article in ICD Monitoring, for HCC coding to be successful, “providers must report all diagnoses that impact the patient’s evaluation, care, and treatment, including coexisting conditions, chronic conditions, and treatments rendered.” Providing specific and complete documentation of all diagnoses on annual basis can be challenging for many practices. It is also challenging to keep track of yearly changes in policies. For more information about HCC coding technology, please visit our website now!
