Retrospective Risk Adjustment Solutions

Health plans and providers can feel the weight of risk adjustment programs due to inefficient, burdensome processes.

Comprehensive, efficient retrospective risk adjustment program

For health plans subject to performing risk adjustment, their retrospective risk adjustment process may be costly, inefficient and wasteful in many ways:

  • Wasted resources and expense when managing multiple vendors
  • Unnecessary provider abrasion caused by retrieving unproductive charts
  • Disrupting providers with manual chart retrieval and review
  • Manual coding can miss potential unreported diagnosis codes and leave coding accuracy incomplete

The key to efficient chart review is minimizing disruption to the provider workflow to increase participation and enhance long-term relationships.

Optum uses its diverse and deep expertise to transform the chart review process. Optum artificial intelligence (AI) modernizes the process by shifting the focus from volume of charts targeted to precision targeting of charts.
