CMS-HCC Version 28 update

The ACDIS Podcast

Today’s guest is Laurie L. Prescott, RN, MSN, CCDS, CCDS-O, CDIP, CRC, interim ACDIS director and director of CDI education for HCPro. Today’s show is part of the “Talking CDI” series. In every episode of this series, ACDIS Director of Programming Rebecca Hendren is joined by a special guest, such as a member of the ACDIS Advisory Board or one of our expert Boot Camp instructors to discuss a topic pertinent to today’s CDI professional. During today’s show, Prescott and Hendren discuss the upcoming CMS-HCC risk adjustment model changes for payment year 2024. You can read the full announcement from CMS here. (https://www.cms.gov/files/document/2024-announcement-pdf.pdf) Prescott also covered these changes in a recent edition of CDI Strategies. You can read her written assessment here.
