Aligning Payer-Provider Incentives to improve coding and ACA risk transfer payments
With the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), many commercial health plans were subject to risk adjustment for the first time in 2014. Experience for 2014 showed the impact of risk adjustment can be substantial, and health plans operating under the ACA need a thoughtful, innovative plan for managing risk scores. While providers may not realize it yet, the increased focus by health plans on coding will also have implications for providers and the incentive structures they establish with health plans.
