We can provide ongoing monitoring of risk scores under any model, suspect analysis to identify opportunities for improved accuracy of diagnosis coding, and other services related to risk adjustment.For health plans with capitated provider networks, risk adjustment programs ensure that providers are compensated fairly based on the health risk of the populations they serve.
