This master class equips physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants with practical strategies to document and code precisely, reduce compliance risk, and strengthen value-based care alignment—while earning CME credit.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain the role of HCC coding in accurately representing patient burden of illness across Medicare Advantage, ACO REACH, and FFS Medicare.

• Apply compliant documentation practices to ensure chronic conditions are consistently coded and revalidated.

• Identify common pitfalls that lead to gaps in coding, compliance issues, or loss of chronic condition capture.

• Implement strategies consistent with CMS requirements for risk adjustment, shared savings, and full-risk care models.

• Recognize how specialists in practices with VBC contracts can support primary care panels by ensuring chronic disease complexity is documented during specialty encounters.
