Do you need help with cases and calculating groups of Risk Scores?

Per customers request, Find-A-Code now offers BULK entry for calculating for Risk Scores.  The HCC Risk tool offers two options for calculating risk scores, we now offer a BULK calculation for cases or the calculation for a single enrollee.

To use the BULK calculation for cases

  • Create a tab-delimited text file and upload any amount of cases for calculation
  • Fill the text file with diagnoses (ICD-10 codes in a single column, comma separated)
  • Enter Demographic information.
  • Choose the model, code set, output format
  • Upload the CSV file to the form
  • click "Calculate"

As always, we encourage your feedback.  This tool was built for your use; we would like to hear if you have something unexpected or suggestions to improve this tool.
