Risk Adjustment Documentation & Coding 1st Edition

This is by far the most comprehensive text for Risk Adjustment on the market. If you are learning or a professional in the field you will want to add this book to your library. You will find instant knowledge at your fingertips every time you open the cover. I appreciate the way the author explains what I need to know in a precise and engaging way. Nothing worse then a book that seems to drone on and on. Last, most texts I have found give you little bits of information but this author packs everything you need inside. As an educator myself I can't tell you how frustrating it is to have to balance multiple books to get your point across to a student. Everything you need is in this one!

Congratulations to Sheri Poe Bernard, CCS-P, CDEO, CPC, CRC to authoring Risk Adjustment – Documentation & Coding. The glowing recommendation by Dr. Kennedy in the foreword is right on target. This book is a gem. In preparing for an upcoming webinar, I have found Sheri’s book to be a valuable resource. As our healthcare system adapts from a fee-for-service model to a quality model, Risk Adjustment and Hierarchical Category Conditions (HCCs) will guide our system to delivering appropriate services with fair reimbursement. This book is a valuable resource to help you today and prepare for tomorrow.Michael Warner, DO, CPC, CPCO, CPMA

I've been waiting for a reliable book on risk adjustment, and Ms. Poe has outdone herself! Everything is broken down perfectly and I can track back to all the resources I need. The tests are great and the appendices very, very helpful. I tested for my CRC certification and failed by two points because I was somewhat deficient in understanding the different models. I retest in a few weeks and with the newly gained knowledge in this book I'm confident I'll pass!!

This is a well done resource. While I did spot a few minor things that have changed since the book was written, in total, it's an amazing resource for coders, clinicians, and clinical documentation improvement specialists. I recommend this book to any of those folks - even if you aren't directly working on risk adjustment. It's just good advice period.Garnette RHIA, CCS

This is the best textbook I've ever read! I've been a CDI specialist for almost 3 years and this book gives a great in depth understanding of HCCs and Risk Adjustment! I will be totally prepared for the CRC exam, sooner than I had expected! Thank you very much, Ms Poe!

Love this book. I code HCC/Risk adjustment, and this is a great tool to have. I’ve been using it like a study guide to take my certification exam in risk adjustment.

Good coverage of Risk Adjustment coding.

I have been an HCC coder for sometime now and I must say the information presented is priceless and much needed by all coders and providers alike.
