HCC Coding Validation for Health Plans

Concurrent & Retrospective Solutions: MEAT-Criteria Driven, RADV-Ready

Accurate risk adjustment coding is critical as CMS RADV audits intensify. Our HCC Validator safeguards health plans with concurrent validation for real-time MEAT compliance and retrospective review for audit defense. By aligning every diagnosis with MEAT criteria and flagging high-risk codes early, we help protect revenue, strengthen documentation, and ensure compliance readiness.

Why It Matters

In today’s value-based environment, accurate risk adjustment coding is critical. CMS RADV audits are increasing in frequency and intensity, and the margin for error is shrinking.

  • Financial Risk: Even small error rates can lead to significant paybacks.
  • Compliance Risk: Non-MEAT compliant diagnoses expose plans to audit failure.
  • Operational Risk: Poor documentation can impact RAF scores, STAR ratings, and provider network trust.
