MS-DRGs
Coder productivity has fallen up to 25% due to increased CMS requirements. Even the most experienced coders are being challenged. Let us help you prepare for the next wave of change through our MS-DRG audits and educational services.

RAC Audits
As CMS rolls out its Recovery Audit Contractor initiative across the nation, facilities must be prepared to understand the regulations, know what to expect, how to prepare, and how to minimize the financial impact. The Government’s Committee on Ways and Means estimates that with the expansion of the RAC program, it will save the Medicare Program $10 billion over the next 5 years. RAC is projected to significantly impact healthcare organizations both operationally and financially. HIP can help by providing RAC preparedness assessments, RAC audits, coding and documentation education, as well as full RAC program oversight.

Coding and Documentation Education
Our customizable training and mentoring lets you tailor the education programs to fit the needs of your team. We recommend beginning all engagements with a baseline assessment. Our on-line assessment is tailored to meet the specific needs of each client situation. We evaluate staff skill levels and knowledge base. The results of the assessment identify gaps and weaknesses and allow our education consultants to provide you with a plan for education and improvement.
