The End of CMS' Submissions Extension: How Will It Impact Your 2023 Performance?

In May of 2022, CMS announced the deadlines for submitting risk adjustment data for payment years 2021 through 2024, eliminating the six-month extension originally granted during the pandemic. Thus, health plans may be concerned that they will not be able to achieve full reimbursement for services rendered for the 2022 dates of service deadline. 

Attend our webinar to: 

  Learn what the end of the submissions extension means for your risk adjustment program 

  Address common fears around the end of the extension, including starting chart chases too early and claims lag 

  Understand the value of creating your own extension 

  Discover how analytics can help you develop both a comprehensive and targeted approach to chasing charts
