Compliance

Patient engagement/patient health, generating revenue, compliance and provider wellbeing are almost always, in some form, top of list as the four key issues that we talk with hospital C suite executives weekly.

We help with bringing a comprehensive solution that, from one touch point, addresses each of these needs in a way that doesn’t require additional integration, hiring or incur any upfront costs.

We focus on four primary physician designations: Primary care, internal medicine, family practice and geriatric practice, because all of these compliance requirements are focused on the physician that owns the primary umbrella relationship with the Medicare patient.

RAF Optimization

How We Help ACO's, and Organizations Who Take on Risk

Around the end of Q1, 2023, the architecture that CMS uses to calculate the RAF score was overhauled, and they made an enormous adjustment to the health care categories and the International Center for Disease coding system. What that meant was that the doctor had to ask questions to assess the patient's diagnoses in a different way.

Many companies have been, in support of hospitals, offering to train their physicians on this new questioning methodology but that approach has two complications:

The doctors don't have time to go to the training.
Training assumes that the doctor is going to be able to perform the process accurately right out of the gate and not make mistakes in their questioning process.

We took a different approach. Using CareLync, a cloud based software platform, integrates the entire question set along with a very sophisticated set of algorithms. So when the doctor asks the first question of the patient in this encounter, then based on that answer, the software will take them appropriately through the medical record of the patient and have the doctor ask the right questions that are relevant to that patient.

The old system asks all the questions whether they're relevant for you or not. Our system takes the existing medical record and then can only ask the relevant questions in the correct order at the correct level of detail to optimize RAF in how it is seen by the system.

At the end of all of that, what comes out is an eight page, eight category summary of the all the diagnoses for that patient that is exactly compliant with the Medicare requirements. It is so much more efficient and more accurate process than just taking the time of the staff to do that.

Since RAF is the largest determining factor in the reimbursement rates for these Medicare Advantage plans, you want us on your side. Find out answers to any questions and learn more by booking an appointment at the links below.
