Online Medical Billing Coding Training

The Medical Billing Risk Adjustment (HCC) Advanced Diploma is a practical program for coders and clinical documentation teams who want to master risk adjustment workflows, RAF math, and audit-proof documentation. Delivered as flexible online medical billing coding training, this course builds confidence with real-world payer scenarios, documentation standards, and ICD-10-CM selection for high-value condition families—so you can reduce denials and improve accuracy from day one.

Aligned to payer rules and quality programs, the diploma also fits neatly alongside your existing online medical billing and coding online courses and focuses on the intersection of coding, compliance, and health care risk management. You’ll learn to translate provider notes into precise HCC codes, prevent RADV findings, and use analytics to surface care gaps—skills that lift revenue integrity and patient outcomes.

Module 1 – Risk Adjustment Essentials & RAF Math

Build a clear foundation in HCC models, how risk scores are calculated, and where RAF affects payment. Practice simple math for additive factors and interaction terms to avoid common scoring errors.

Module 2 – ICD-10-CM for HCC High-Value Condition Families

Learn precise code selection for diabetes, CHF, COPD, cancer, CKD, depression, and more. See frequent coding pitfalls and how specificity and laterality impact HCC capture.

Module 3 – Documentation Standards: MEAT, Problem Lists & Queries

Apply the MEAT framework to prove conditions are monitored and treated during the year. Write compliant queries and fix problem lists that cause upcoding or missed HCCs.

Module 4 – Visit Strategy: Annual Wellness, Chronic Care & Telehealth

Structure visits to support accurate assessment, planning, and follow-up. Align AWV and chronic care touchpoints—including telehealth—to document persistence and treatment.

Module 5 – Social Determinants & Non-HCC Codes That Change Care

Capture SDOH (Z codes) and other non-HCC factors that shape risk and care plans. Link documentation to referrals, care management, and quality measures.

Module 6 – Payer Nuances, Edits & RA Data Integrity

Navigate payer policies, edits, and risk adjustment submission rules. Improve data integrity across EHR, clearinghouse, and payer feedback loops.

Module 7 – RADV, Compliance & Audit-Proof Coding

Prepare for RADV by building internal controls, sample audits, and defensible notes. Learn what auditors look for and how to close evidence gaps proactively.

Module 8 – Denials, Appeals & Provider Education

Prevent denials with front-end checks, then craft concise appeals with clinical backing. Coach providers using quick reference guides, tip sheets, and feedback dashboards.

Module 9 – Analytics, Suspecting & Performance Dashboards

Use simple analytics to surface suspected conditions and care gaps. Track coder and provider performance with actionable dashboards and clear KPIs.
