Success Stories & Case Studies

Real results from healthcare providers who transformed their revenue cycle with MedLegacyRcm

Medicare Advantage Plan

$850K Revenue Increase Through HCC Coding Optimization

Medicare Advantage Health Plan, Arizona

$850K
Revenue Increase

The Challenge

A Medicare Advantage health plan in Arizona was experiencing significant revenue leakage due to incomplete HCC (Hierarchical Condition Category) coding. Their RAF (Risk Adjustment Factor) scores were below industry benchmarks, resulting in lower capitation payments. The plan was missing chronic conditions that should have been documented and coded, leading to an estimated $800K+ in lost annual revenue.

The Solution

MedLegacyRcm deployed a specialized HCC coding team with deep expertise in risk adjustment coding. We conducted comprehensive chart reviews, identified missed chronic conditions, and implemented a systematic approach to HCC capture. Our team worked closely with providers to improve documentation and ensure accurate RAF score optimization while maintaining full compliance with CMS guidelines.

Emergency Department

38% Revenue Recovery Through Accurate E/M Level Assignment

Emergency Department, Large Hospital System, Illinois

38%
Revenue Recovery

The Challenge

A large hospital system's emergency department in Illinois was experiencing significant revenue loss due to undercoding of E/M levels. ED visits were consistently coded at lower levels (99281-99283) when documentation supported higher complexity levels (99284-99285). Additionally, the transition to 2021 E/M guidelines created confusion, leading to inconsistent coding practices. The department was losing an estimated $2.2M annually in undercoded visits.

The Solution

MedLegacyRcm assigned certified ED coders with specialized expertise in emergency department coding and the 2021 E/M guidelines. We conducted a comprehensive audit of 6 months of ED visits, identified undercoded cases, and implemented a systematic review process. Our team provided real-time coding support and education to ensure accurate level assignment based on medical decision making (MDM) complexity.
