(CRC) CERTIFIED RISK ADJUSTMENT CODER
The Certified Risk Adjustment Coder (CRC) credential, offered by AAPC, certifies expertise in risk adjustment coding for accurate reimbursement in Medicare Advantage and risk-based payment models. Candidates must understand medical coding principles, Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCCs), and documentation guidelines. CRC-certified professionals ensure accurate diagnosis reporting, impacting reimbursement and financial stability in healthcare organizations.
(HCC)HIERARCHICAL CONDITION CODING
Risk adjustment model used in healthcare to predict patient care costs and ensure accurate reimbursement, especially in Medicare Advantage and risk-based payment models. It involves assigning ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes to capture chronic conditions, which determine a patient’s Risk Adjustment Factor (RAF) score. Accurate HCC coding helps healthcare providers receive proper compensation, supports quality patient care, and ensures compliance with Medicare guidelines. Proper documentation and coding expertise are essential for optimizing financial outcomes and maintaining regulatory standards in risk-adjusted payment models.
