Beginning May 11th, 2021, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) will begin to request medical records with dates of service of 1/1/2020 to 12/31/2020 for Medicare Risk Adjustment (MRA).
MRA refers to the process by which Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) adjusts Part C payments made to Medicare Advantage plans to account for expected costs of care based on factors associated with member demographics and health. The goals of risk adjustment are:
- To collect accurate and complete diagnosis information to ensure proper treatment, care management, and care coordination services.
