Frequently Asked Questions
What is a RADV audit, and why is it important?
A Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) audit is conducted by CMS to verify the
accuracy of risk adjustment data submitted by Medicare Advantage (MA)
organizations. These audits ensure that health plans receive payments aligned with
the health status of their members. An accurate RADV audit protects your
organization from penalties and ensures compliance with CMS guidelines.
What are the key challenges organizations face during RADV audits?
Organizations often face tight deadlines, complex documentation requirements, and
difficulties retrieving medical records. Ensuring the accuracy of submitted HCCs and preparing for unexpected audits can also be daunting without the right expertise and processes.
How can Annova Solutions help with RADV audits?
Annova offers end-to-end support, including:
- Multithreaded record retrieval to save time.
- Expert coding with a proprietary Confidence Rating system to focus on high-confidence HCCs.
- Mock RADV audits to proactively identify vulnerabilities.
- Retrospective reviews and Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI)
programs to enhance documentation quality.
What is Annova’s Confidence Rating system, and how does it benefit RADV audits?
Our proprietary Confidence Rating system evaluates documentation at the diagnosis
level, categorizing it as Best-Support, Moderate, or Low Confidence. This ensures
that only the strongest records are submitted to CMS, minimizing the risk of
unsupported HCCs and maximizing compliance.
What is multithreaded record retrieval, and why is it important?
Multithreaded record retrieval means chasing multiple medical records
simultaneously instead of one at a time. This approach significantly reduces delays,
ensuring that your organization meets CMS deadlines efficiently without
compromising on accuracy.
How does Annova conduct Mock RADV Audits?
Our Mock RADV Audits replicate the CMS audit process. Starting with claims or
encounter data, we retrieve records, analyze documentation, and identify gaps in
HCC submissions. This proactive approach prepares your organization for real
audits while minimizing risks.
Why is Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) crucial for RADV readiness?
CDI ensures that provider documentation fully supports submitted HCCs and aligns
with CMS requirements. Annova’s CDI reviews include actionable guidance for
providers, improving accuracy and reducing the likelihood of unsupported codes.
