The SSI Group, a leader in financial performance solutions for providers and payers, announced today a partnership with RCxRules, a leading provider of automated billing solutions for healthcare organizations’ population health and revenue cycle operations. As a part of the partnership, the two companies are launching the HCC Coding Edit Suite which will help large health systems to financially succeed with risk-based contracts such as Medicare Shared Savings, Medicare Advantage and Managed Medicaid.
According to the American Academy of Professional Coders, medical groups fail to report more than 40% of their patient’s active chronic conditions. Inaccurate HCC (Hierarchical Condition Categories) coding directly impacts the reimbursement healthcare organizations receive and can lead to a significant financial loss for any given health system. The HCC Coding Edit Suite from SSI and RCxRules will help identify HCC Coding gaps for coder review, ensuring the capture of accurate and appropriate HCC codes. By including the most accurate HCC codes, the solution ensures Risk Adjustment Factor (RAF) scores align with patient’s health.
“RCxRules is thrilled to partner with SSI as they share our strong focus on customer success and our commitment to developing solutions that improve the financial health of our customers,” said Stephen Gorman, CEO at RCxRules. “SSI’s exceptional technology platform and marquee customer base, combined with RCxRules’ innovative HCC Coding technology, will fuel growth for both organizations as we help customers excel with their Medicare Advantage and value-based care contracts.”
The health care industry continues to make significant shifts towards value-based care, with the New England Journal of Medicine recently predicting that this model can help solve significant cost and quality problems. Additionally, as health systems move towards consolidating vendors, the partnership between SSI and RCxRules will support appropriate quality measures and cost performance.
“Access to actionable data is key for every organization we partner with,” said Diana Allen, CEO of The SSI Group. “We are excited about this partnership with RCxRules and look forward to supporting our customers in their efforts to improve overall revenue growth.”
