As healthcare moves from a fee-for-service to a value-based care model, the financial risk rapidly shifts from payers to providers. To thrive in this environment, provider organizations must enhance documentation, align evidence, and improve coding quality to achieve the highest possible reimbursement. Future healthcare spending will rely on risk adjustment models for the purpose of forecasting patient care costs across higher-risk populations, aligning to population health efforts and aiding payers and provider organizations in forecasting costs.
