Case Mix Index
Are your coders capturing all CC/MCCs? If not, it could be negatively affecting your CMI and quality measures. In addition to reviewing CC/MCC code selections for both medical and surgical MS-DRGs, we:
- Investigate cases where there is a single reporting of a CC or MCC in a given time period as this can indicate a coding error or a provider documentation opportunity.
- Review a sudden spike or unusually high volume of MS-DRGs with CC/MCCs as this can be an indicator or an increased denial risk and can impact mortality index reporting.
- Evaluate outliers in the average length of stay where inconsistencies can identify coding and documentation opportunities.

"Your team is helping us move forward with process improvements and ensuring our coded data is accurate and of top-notch quality [...] your reviewers have set the gold standard of what a consultant should be. They are both currently performing focused reviews on 100% of the work performed by a couple of coders not meeting our metrics to assess where those coders stand. Their work is very thorough and both are well rounded and bring a great deal knowledge within the coding field with them. I really appreciate having them with us."
