HCC Coding Errors & RADV Overpayment Risks

Sample Power BI dashboard demonstrating healthcare risk adjustment analytics and coding trend visualization using synthetic data.

Key Findings

  • Acute Stroke and Breast Cancer showed 100% error rate in the reviewed sample
  • Overall 84% of high-risk HCC codes were unsupported (252 out of 300 cases)
  • Estimated potential overpayment in the reviewed sample: $4.4 Million
  • Major compliance risks identified in documentation and coding accuracy

Recommendations

  • Strengthen documentation requirements for high-risk conditions (especially Acute Stroke and Cancer)
  • Implement regular internal coding audits for high-error HCC categories
  • Provide targeted training for coders and providers on proper documentation
  • Establish better validation processes before submitting claims to reduce RADV risk

Skills Demonstrated

  • Strong domain knowledge in HCC coding and RADV process
  • Audit data analysis and risk assessment
  • Financial impact modeling
  • Compliance and reimbursement risk visualization
