Not a coding problem.
A system design problem.
Fix the system → accuracy follows.

Diagram comparing longitudinal vs encounter-level comorbidity detection using ICD-10 codes across five patient encounters. Top panel (Longitudinal): The patient initially has uncomplicated diabetes (E11.9). Later an encounter includes E11.22 and K72.10, indicating complex diabetes and severe liver disease. Using longitudinal logic, these conditions persist in later encounters even when only E11.9 appears, preserving severity and correctly flagging severe liver disease. Bottom panel (Encounter-level): Each encounter is evaluated independently. Diabetes changes from uncomplicated → complex → back to uncomplicated when E11.9 reappears, and severe liver disease is never flagged because its code does not repeat. Message: Ignoring patient history can downgrade severity or fail to identify comorbidities.
Graphic showing how the medicalcoder R package controls comorbidity detection using the flag.method argument. Left side: A sample dataset of patient encounters with variables patid, encid, icd10code, and poa, containing ICD-10 codes such as E11.9, K72.10, and E11.22. Below the dataset are two example R code blocks calling medicalcoder::comorbidities(): flag.method = "current" (default), producing encounter-level comorbidity flags. flag.method = "cumulative", producing patient-level flags that preserve comorbidities across encounters. Right side: the medicalcoder hex logo and labels explaining that current = encounter-level and cumulative = longitudinal history preserving. The graphic illustrates that longitudinal comorbidity tracking in medicalcoder is controlled by a single argument.
Same ICD codes. Same patient. Different risk profiles.
Encounter-level comorbidity logic assumes ICD codes are re-reported every visit. They usually aren’t.

Risk Adjustment Version 28 is more than a model change.
In this video, Unmesh Srivastava, CEO at Incuvio Health, shares why V28 shifts risk adjustment away from claims and toward real-time provider documentation and compliant coding at the point of care.

HCC accuracy doesn’t come from more tools.
It comes from better workflows.
Prebuilt HCC coding workflows from Curitics Health connect documentation, detection, review, validation, and submission—without breaking clinical flow.

Regulatory change isn’t slowing down.
The transition from V24 → V28 has made risk adjustment a moving maze.
At Incuvio, RAF Intelligence adapts in real time:
• Supports V24, V28 & blended models
• Automatically adjusts to policy changes

CMS models won’t stop evolving - V24, V28, blended approaches are now the norm.
Adaptive RAF technology ensures risk models adjust automatically as regulations shift reducing lag, rework, and uncertainty.
#RiskAdjustment #HealthcareAnalytics #ValueBasedCare #HealthTech
Regulations shift. Is your risk adjustment process keeping up?
With CMS model changes like V28, outdated RAF scoring means gaps in accuracy and compliance.
That’s why we built Incuvio RAF Intelligence:

Ignoring the nuances of HCC documentation means leaving potential savings on the table and misrepresenting your patient acuity. It's a foundational element for success in a downside risk environment.

You can’t fix what you can’t find.
It’s time to stop chasing charts—and start supporting coders with systems that work for them.

Risk adjustment shouldn’t be a clean-up job.
It should be a care-enabler.
When risk insights are real-time, everything changes.
