HCCs and Value-based Care: Important Changes from CMS

Talk Ten Tuesdays

A major focus for many hospitals is understanding the changes that impact Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) reimbursement methodology – changes made as a result of the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) rule that will become effective in 2024.

Because it’s important for you to know about these changes, we invited John Pitsikoulis principal at Premier Health, to be the special guest during the next live edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays.

Pitsikoulis is expected to report on these recent regulatory and payment model changes, noting that for the first time, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) used ICD-10 codes in their analytics for policy changes.

These changes are expected to impact your Medicare Shared Savings Plan (MSSP), Medicare Advantage, and other payment models.
