  • Compliance Monitoring: Keep abreast of updates to federal and state regulations, coding guidelines, risk adjustment models (such as CMS-HCC, HHS-HCC), and payer-specific rules to ensure ongoing program compliance and risk mitigation. Review coding monitoring reports and identify trends, patterns of error, and systemic issues requiring corrective action. Recommend control enhancements and monitoring approaches.
  • Education and Training: Develop and deliver training sessions and educational materials to coding staff, providers, and ancillary teams on risk adjustment principles, compliant documentation, and the significance of accurate coding for organizational success.
  • Reporting and Analysis: Generate detailed reports summarizing audit results, coding trends, compliance risks, and quality improvement opportunities, presenting findings to leadership and compliance committees. Translate findings into clear actions.
  • Audit Support: Assist with internal and external audits by preparing requested documentation, supporting audit responses, and implementing corrective action plans to address identified deficiencies.
  • Prioritize work based on risk and regulatory deadlines; recommend resource needs.
