Hierarchical Condition Categories – Part 1
from Modern Practice Podcast Hosted by Dr. Tom Villanueva and Vizient Medical Leadership Team
Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCCs) aren’t a new concept, but as more and more organizations shift to value-based care, there has been renewed issue in the subject. This is based on the recognition that without solid foundational knowledge of HCCs, health systems risk lower rates of reimbursement, or sometimes not getting paid at all. On this program, we will explore the use of HCCs and their importance to medical practice.
