Problem

Prima CARE PC, a large multi-specialty ACO with a significant Medicare Advantage population, needed a reliable way to document chronic conditions and manage risk adjustment. They required a comprehensive system to help their expansive network of providers accurately calculate risk scores, predict costs, and code Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCCs) without adding administrative hurdles or wasting valuable time reviewing irrelevant alerts.

Solution

By implementing the eClinicalWorks embedded HCC module, Prima CARE PC integrated a powerful tool that scans both structured and unstructured data, including claims and interoperability networks, to identify missed codes based on historical data. The backend dashboard allows their coding team to analyze Risk Adjustment Factor (RAF) score trends and filter opportunities, ensuring providers only see accurate, evidence-supported recommendations directly in the clinical panel.
