Case Study | Medicare Advantage Risk Adjustment Data Trace
Client Engagement Description
A Medicare Advantage Organization (MAO) in the Midwest provides exceptional benefits to meet members’ healthcare needs. With a rapidly growing membership base of more than 25,000, the MAO established itself as a trusted provider of Medicare Advantage plan products.
Challenges
The MAO transitioned submission vendors and had previously used a large full-service organization to create and submit EDS 837 and RAPS files to CMS for Medicare beneficiaries. This transition resulted in lower-than-expected risk adjustment scores and lost revenue due to what the organization suspected were incomplete data submissions.
By The Numbers
60 Days left before final submission deadline
2M Claims analyzed
25K Medicare beneficiaries
$1.2M Yearly new revenue opportunity
Results
- ATTAC provided the MAO with prioritized target lists for each identified root cause, allowing the organization to remediate outstanding encounters and recapture lost revenue rapidly
- The estimated improvement in risk adjustment score and recaptured lost revenue was $1.25 million
- Using the custom reporting and oversight system detailed by ATTAC, the MAO is projected to mitigate an estimated $1 million to $1.3 million in annual lost revenue going forward
