HCC Background and M.E.A.T. Criteria Application 

*Please note that CEUs are no longer available for this webinar.* Hierarchical condition category (HCC) coding is a risk-adjustment model that is becoming increasingly prevalent as the environment shifts to value-based payment models. Join us to review the background on HCCs, a comparison between the CMS-HCC and the HHS-HCC models, and application of the M.E.A.T. (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, Treat) criteria for documentation and coding practices.
Topics to be covered include:
-Overview of HCCs and background
-Differences between CMS-HCC vs. HHS-HCC
-Deep dive on CMS-HCC (examples, hierarchy, insights)
-Discussion of ME.A.T. criteria: how to apply it for documentation and coding practices
-Resources on HCCs
