Each year, CMS selects 30 plan contracts for RADV review. If chosen, CMS will randomly select 201 plan beneficiaries or organization members (sample population) to validate diagnosis- driven HCCs during a specific plan year.
Did you know that any additional HCCs found in a MA Contract Level audit must be accompanied by a substantiated audit HCC for the plan to receive additional credit and offset existing error rates? This is substantially different from the PPACA RADV environment where a plan may receive offsetting error rates from any additional HCC provided that the medical record can be tied back to a medical claim in the given audit year.
