Online training tool explains best practices for risk adjustment, documentation and diagnosis coding

Managing patient care begins with accurate documentation and coding. You can now watch a 15-minute, informational Brainshark presentation to learn more about risk adjustment and how accurate documentation benefits both doctors and patients at brainshark.com/bcbsm/riskadjustment.

This new online training tool also provides helpful information about:

• Risk adjustment for Medicare Advantage, individual and small group health plans
• The Medicare Advantage Diagnosis Closure Incentive Program
• Useful tools and resources available to you

We strive to ensure that all patients with chronic conditions are seen at least once a year and that they receive appropriate care. Your detailed documentation and coding of diagnoses, along with any treatment or care each year, are key to managing patient care.

To properly document and code, doctors must manage, evaluate, assess or treat every patient and every condition every year.

This fall, watch for an interactive, computer-based training module that provides more important information and helpful tips about documenting and coding your patient’s conditions.

Visit the link above to learn more about best practices in documentation and coding and the advantages they provide to you and your patients. We look forward to partnering with you to provide affordable, high-quality care to our members.
