Your HCC Risk Management Personality Test

Assume, for a moment, you run a 20,000 member health plan. There are two options for you to manage HCC-based risk adjustment:

Option 1: you spend $480,000 on retrospective chart review for 2006 dates of service, and recover $6 million ($30 pmpm). Net recovery is $5.52 million

Option 2: you spend $1.2 million on retrospective chart review for 2006 dates of service, and recover $15 million ($63 pmpm). Net recovery is $13.80 million.

Which do you pick: cost or net recovery?

Your answer says a lot about which HCC management outsourcing solution you will be most comfortable with.

Definitely greater investment for greater return. In the healthcare environment today, now is the time to be bold and take risks and turn the corner. As an Adjunct Professor for a Masters in Health Care Admin, it would be helpful to know more about pricing.
