RAPS vs. EDPS -- The Changing Environment & Financial Impact of Reporting Risk Adjustment & How to Reconcile at the HCC Level

Medicare Advantage is dependent on the non-traditional hierarchical condition categories (HCC) payment system through data captured simultaneously in two separate reporting systems. These systems include the risk adjustment payment system (RAPS) and the encounter data processing systems (EDPS). The intent is that at a future date, CMS will have EDPS completely replace RAPS and the CY2016 payment began this progression that will ultimately support an expected 90/10 split payment for 2015 DOS. In this session we will dive into the differences of the systems, give a case study of how one health plan was able to reconcile and manage the evolution through 2017, and provide you with an approach that may impact the way your teams collaborate to address this change in the risk adjustment reporting process.

• Examine the different approaches available to address risk adjustment accuracy
• Outline the key differences between the RAPS and EDPS reporting systems
• Dive into one plan's lessons learned with reconciling RAPS vs. EDPS data
• Review and discuss CMS best practices in approaching HCC reconciliation
• The ability to use our techniques for your plan's data to identify discrepancies between the reporting systems

What You Need to Know About Recent Risk Adjustment Fraud Litigation

Risk adjustment fraud litigation has exploded in the last several years.
