- Medicare Plans In a concurrent coding review process, coders review the EHR/medical notes and HCC codes in real time before the claims are submitted to payers.
- This process helps ensure the diagnosis coding accurately supports what the physician documented in the EMR.ย In many cases, the physician will perform robust clinical documentation, but may not select the most appropriate ICD-10 code.ย Having the medical coding team perform this concurrent review prior to claim submission achieves two benefits: First, it ensures the physician’s hard work in delivering and documenting care is correctly translated into accurate HCC codes. Secondly, it ensures the payers have the correct HCC codes on the initial claim, eliminating the need for an additional retrospective review.
