*** Above is a list of commonly missed status codes to keep in mind when documenting and coding visits: ***

We are focusing on the reporting of supplementary health status codes that are used in situations such as: 

  • When a patient is not sick, but receiving treatment (e.g. vaccinations, organ recipient)
  • To document an encounter for healthcare treatment (e.g. renal dialysis)
  • When a circumstance or problem influences health status, but it’s not currently active (e.g. HIV, amputation) 
Status codes often go unreported; however, in the risk-adjusted population, it is important to assess, document, and code a member’s heath status at least once annually.

Providers should ask :

  1. Are you capturing all of the services being performed?

  2. Did you score the correct Medicare Risk Adjustment ( MRA ) ?

  3. Did you qualify the PQRS ? Did I perform the HEDIS ?
