Expert Risk Adjustment Services

Where Clinical Expertise
Meets Revenue Integrity.

From RADV audit defense to prospective HCC coding, RADVantage.io delivers hands-on services that protect revenue, improve documentation accuracy, and build organizational capability at every level.

End-to-end risk adjustment
services — not one-size-fits-all.

We work where the complexity actually lives — inside health plan audit cycles, provider encounter data, and the documentation workflows that determine whether your risk scores hold up.

RADV Audit Defense

Pre-audit preparation, medical record retrieval support, HCC validation, discrepancy analysis, and response strategy for CMS Risk Adjustment Data Validation audits.

The stakes of a RADV audit are too high to navigate alone.

CMS Risk Adjustment Data Validation audits have grown in scope and consequence. A single unsupported HCC across your sample can trigger extrapolated repayments across your entire membership. RADVantage.io brings specialized audit defense that starts before CMS ever contacts you.

01

Pre-Audit Risk Stratification

We analyze your encounter data and HCC submissions to identify the diagnoses most likely to draw scrutiny — before your sample is selected.

02

Medical Record Retrieval & Preparation

Systematic outreach to provider offices, organization of records per CMS specifications, and documentation gap analysis prior to submission.

03

HCC Validation & Discrepancy Review

Line-by-line clinical review of each submitted HCC against supporting documentation. We confirm what holds, flag what doesn't, and build the corrective record.

04

CMS Response Strategy & Submission

We draft the technical and clinical response to CMS findings, support the appeals process, and advise on corrective action plans to prevent recurrence.

What's Included

Full-cycle RADV defense engagement

Encounter Data Analysis

Pre-sample risk scoring across your full beneficiary population to surface HCC vulnerability before CMS selection.

Provider Outreach Coordination

Structured record request workflows with tracking, escalation, and deadline management built in.

Clinical HCC Validation

CRC-certified coders conduct chart-level review against ICD-10 and HHS/CMS coding guidelines for each submitted condition.

Findings Report & Remediation Plan

Actionable summary of risk exposure with prioritized remediation steps mapped to your specific audit sample.

Appeals & CMS Response Support

Drafting of technical rebuttals, supporting evidence compilation, and representation strategy through the full appeals lifecycle.

Post-Audit Corrective Action Planning

Structural improvements to documentation workflows, provider education, and data submission protocols to reduce future audit exposure.

Capture every condition your members carry — every year.

For MA plans, ACA plans, and Medicaid managed care organizations, risk adjustment accuracy isn't optional — it's the foundation of financial sustainability. Our coders work your data, your providers, and your timelines.

Prospective HCC Coding

Pre-encounter risk capture & outreach

Prospective review happens before the encounter — we analyze historical claims, identify members with suspected chronic conditions, and support provider outreach so every visit results in complete, accurate documentation. This is the highest-ROI intervention in risk adjustment.

Retrospective Chart Review

Post-encounter HCC validation

Retrospective review closes the gap between what happened clinically and what was submitted to CMS. Our coders review closed encounters to find both missed HCCs that can be added and unsupported diagnoses that represent audit risk — giving you a full picture before submission deadlines.

Risk Score Analytics & Reporting

Data-driven performance insight

Coding operations without measurement are flying blind. We deliver regular reporting on RAF score trends, HCC capture rates by provider and market, sweep completion progress, and risk-adjusted revenue projections — giving your leadership the data to make confident operational decisions.

CMS model updates require re-validation each year
V28
Current CMS-HCC model transition demands proactive remap

We maintain real-time expertise in both the CMS-HCC V24 and V28 models, including the blended transition years. Our coders are trained on the diagnosis mapping changes, category consolidations, and new condition inclusions that affect your RAF scores right now.

All RADVantage coders are Certified Risk Adjustment Coders

Documentation that reflects the actual complexity of your patients.

Provider groups participating in value-based contracts, ACOs, or MA networks carry real risk when chronic conditions go undocumented. We partner directly with your clinical teams to build documentation discipline that holds up under audit — and captures the revenue your patients' care actually justifies.

Point-of-Care HCC Coding Support

Embedded or remote coders available for real-time diagnosis capture during or immediately after clinical encounters — so nothing is left to memory at month-end.

CDI Query Development & Training

We build clinically appropriate query templates and train your CDI team to engage providers effectively — improving response rates and documentation specificity without compromising clinical integrity.

Annual Wellness Visit Optimization

AWVs are the single best opportunity to assess and document all active chronic conditions. We help your practices maximize AWV completion rates and ensure each visit drives complete HCC capture.

Provider-Level Performance Reporting

HCC capture rate scorecards by provider, specialty, and location — giving your medical director the visibility to target education where it will move the needle most.

ICD-10-CM & HCC Specificity Education

Targeted provider and coder education on condition-specific ICD-10 coding, HCC hierarchies, and the documentation language CMS requires to support each code.

Not a vendor. A risk adjustment partner.

We built RADVantage.io because the existing options were either too generalist, too transactional, or too removed from the clinical realities of risk adjustment work.

01

Risk Adjustment Only

We don't do general medical billing, general coding, or EHR implementation. Risk adjustment is all we do — which means our depth in HCC models, RADV rules, and documentation standards is unmatched.

02

CRC-Certified Coders

Every coder on our services team holds CRC certification. We don't subcontract to general coding pools — each engagement is staffed with specialists who have worked MA, Medicaid managed care, and ACA risk adjustment programs.

03

Services + Platform, Together

Most services firms hand off a report and walk away. We connect every engagement to our learning platform — so the education that prevents the next gap is built into the workflow, not bolted on after the fact.

04

Model-Year Current

V28 is not optional. We maintain real-time training on every CMS model update, transition year mapping, and HHS-HCC rule change — so your team is never operating on last year's standards.

05

Full Audit Transparency

Every record we review, every HCC we flag, every discrepancy we document is traceable. We provide complete audit-ready work product — not summary reports that leave you unable to defend the methodology.

06

Responsive, Accountable Teams

You'll have a named engagement lead, not a ticket queue. We operate on your timelines, communicate proactively, and treat your audit exposure with the urgency it deserves.

How an engagement actually works.

Every client relationship starts with understanding your data, your contracts, and your current gaps — before we recommend anything.

Discovery & Data Assessment

We review your encounter data, current HCC submission history, and any existing audit findings to establish a clear baseline — where you are, where the gaps are, and what the exposure looks like.

Engagement Design

We scope the work to your specific need — not a pre-packaged service bundle. Whether that's a targeted RADV prep sprint, an ongoing prospective program, or a full CDI buildout, the engagement is structured around your calendar and capacity.

Execution & Delivery

Your dedicated engagement lead oversees delivery, maintains communication cadence, and ensures that every work product meets the documentation standard required for clinical and regulatory scrutiny.

Reporting & Capability Transfer

We close every engagement with actionable findings, performance metrics, and — where relevant — the training content and workflow tools your team needs to sustain the improvement without ongoing dependence on outside support.

MA, ACA & Medicaid

We work across all three risk adjustment program types — CMS-HCC, HHS-HCC, and CDPS/RxHCC models.

Flexible Engagement Models

Project-based, retainer, or embedded — we structure around what your team actually needs.

HIPAA-Compliant Operations

BAA-ready, compliant data handling, and secure record transmission protocols for every engagement.

Measurable Outcomes

Every engagement includes defined KPIs — HCC capture rate, RAF delta, audit finding rate — tracked and reported throughout.
