Technology is crucial for your healthcare organization in the new Covid-19 era, as we stated in our earlier blog post. Keeping up with the complex policies and regulations of the CMS is one of the main reasons. For HCC coding to be successful, physicians must report all diagnoses that influence the patient's evaluation, care, and treatment, including coexisting diseases, chronic conditions, and treatments provided, according to an article in ICD Monitoring that was referenced by CMS. For many practices, it might be difficult to provide accurate documentation of all diagnoses on an annual basis

Using an HCC Coding Tool in your EHR: Instructions with HCC Assistant Technology is crucial for your healthcare organization in the new Covid-19 era, as we stated in our earlier blog post. Keeping up with the complex policies and regulations of the CMS is one of the main reasons. For HCC coding to be successful, physicians must report all diagnoses that influence the patient's evaluation, care, and treatment, including coexisting diseases, chronic conditions, and treatments provided, according to an article in ICD Monitoring that was referenced by CMS. For many practices, it might be difficult to provide accurate documentation of all diagnoses on an annual basis; this is where an HCC coding tool can be useful. What advantages do HCC coding platforms offer? Using HCC coding tools can make it easier to capture new encounters at the beginning of the year while also accounting for any changes to CMS policies. Technology use can also assist with:
Process automation that results in better documentation Coordination between providers and coders Reducing care gaps brought on by inadequate provider documentation
Today, we'll discuss how to leverage Inferscience's HCC Assistant as an HCC coding platform for your business. What is Inferscience's HCC Assistant? The HCC coding tool from Inferscience aids in optimizing risk adjustment coding documents and HCC coding. A platform for intelligent HCC coding and billing that is cloud-based and integrated with the top EHRs is called HCC Assistant. The platform examines data from the patient's chart that is both structured and unstructured. The HCC Assistant can identify diagnoses that may have been missed and present possibilities to update the documentation in real-time thanks to its sophisticated intelligence criteria. A single click can be used to submit HCC ICD-10 codes and the related plan of care documentation back into the patient chart where write-back integration is supported. How to Operate Your EHR's HCC Assistant. For the purposes of this blog article, we'll pick athenaClinicals as our example EHR because it integrates with EHRs and is simple to set up. After installing the HCC Assistant in your athenaClinicals EHR (or other compatible EHRs), you can proceed as you normally would during a patient visit. When the analysis is finished, a tab will appear to the right of your screen. A list of HCC codes is suggested when you access the HCC Assistant tab. The system will display the projected influence each code would have on the patient's RAF score if it were added to the chart. You can add encounter notes or just pick and choose the codes you want to put. Select submit once you've reviewed the codes and made the necessary selections. You can return to the EHR after providing the codes, and your codes will be recorded in the patient's chart. It's that easy.
