Description

Risk adjustment often feels like a riddle wrapped in red tape — but understanding it is the key to unlocking your agency’s potential. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) use these models to ensure fair comparisons across agencies, but do you know how they really work?

Join McBee experts Michelle Horner and Karen Tibbs as they break down the complexities of risk adjustment, reveal how it impacts critical quality measures like Potentially Preventable Hospitalization (PPH) and Discharge Function Scores, and show you how to use this knowledge to your advantage. Don’t let risk adjustment stump you — now is the time to master it and drive your agency’s success!
