Capture Every Defensible HCC at the Point of Care.
Prospective AI clinical decision support for Medicare Advantage and ACO populations. Surface suspect HCCs before the encounter closes, validate MEAT, and write the finalized RAF back to your EHR - closed-loop to RAPS/EDPS submission.
Connect prospective RAF decisions with QuickRCM, Medical Coding, EHR integrations, and QuickRCM Analytics.

Workflow
How prospective risk adjustment works
QuickIntell turns each patient encounter into a defensible RAF decision by combining EHR demographics, validated ICD-10 codes, CMS-HCC mapping, hierarchy logic, and reviewer sign-off when needed.
Ingest the encounter
Patient demographics, special-status flags, and the validated ICD-10 set flow in from the EHR, scribe, and coding pipeline.
Validate and map
QuickIntell runs age/sex MCE checks, maps ICD-10 codes to HCCs, handles dual-mapped codes, and applies CMS hierarchy rules.
Calculate RAF
The engine determines the correct segment, applies the coefficient lookup, calculates RAF, and normalizes for the payment year.
Review or finalize
Low-risk jobs can finalize automatically; borderline, high-impact, or policy-required cases move to clinical review.
Write back and submit
Approved HCCs and finalized RAF scores write back to the EHR, update analytics, and feed MA submission workflows.
Point of care
Suspect HCC suggestions before the visit closes
The workflow highlights suspected chronic conditions, recapture gaps, vague diagnosis codes, and supporting note context while the provider can still clarify the record.
- Prior-year HCCs and current-year recapture gaps surface on the patient profile.
- Yellow-question prompts route vague codes to clinicians for clarification instead of silently inflating RAF.
- Accepted provider responses update the score automatically and stay visible in the audit history.
Encounter signal
Evidence
Source note excerpt and encounter date
Suggestion
ICD-10 to HCC crosswalk with hierarchy notes
Action
Accept, modify, reject, or send a CDI query
Output
Finalized HCC list and normalized RAF
Clinical review
MEAT-validated review queue
Clinical reviewers see the source code, suggested HCC, confidence, hierarchy effect, and supporting note excerpt in one queue, then sign off with a locked reviewer trail.
Monitor
Clinical evidence that the condition is being watched, trended, or followed.
Evaluate
Findings, labs, imaging, or assessment context tied to the suspected condition.
Assess or Treat
Provider assessment, plan, therapy, medication, referral, or CDI follow-up.
Reviewer controls
Accept, modify, or reject every suggested HCC. Rejections require reasons such as insufficient documentation, Excludes1 conflict, wrong patient, or other compliance rationale.
Model readiness
CMS-HCC v28 readiness built into the workflow
QuickIntell applies the correct CMS-HCC model, segment, coefficient, hierarchy rule, and normalization factor for each payment year, including v28 normalization of 1.015 in 2024-2025 and 1.000 in 2026.
Why it matters for 2026
The manual flags CMS-HCC v28 compression as a risk for MA plans. The module keeps model choice and normalization explicit so revenue teams can see which codes count, which are suppressed, and why.
Every finalized HCC retains model version, hierarchy decision, reviewer, and source encounter for audits.
Submission operations
RAPS/EDPS submission support
Once clinical review is complete, MA operations teams can preview cohorts, exclude unreviewed charts by default, generate RAPS/EDPS files, and retain CMS acknowledgment IDs when direct submission is enabled.
Filter
Select plan, cohort, and submission window.
Preview
Review patient count, total RAF, and unreviewed exclusions.
Generate
Create RAPS/EDPS files for the approved batch.
Track
Record download, submission, and acknowledgment status.

Prospective Risk Adjustment FAQs
What is prospective risk adjustment?
Prospective risk adjustment identifies supported HCC opportunities before the encounter closes or before Medicare Advantage submission. QuickIntell combines EHR demographics, special-status flags, validated ICD-10 codes, and clinical note context so providers and reviewers can confirm conditions while the record is still current.
How does QuickIntell suggest HCCs at the point of care?
The module ingests patient demographics, the encounter ICD-10 set, prior-year HCC history, and scribe or coding context. It maps ICD-10 codes to HCCs, surfaces recapture gaps and vague-code prompts, and shows the supporting source excerpt so clinicians can accept, clarify, or reject suggestions.
How is MEAT enforced?
Suggested HCCs move through a review detail view with source ICD-10 codes, confidence, hierarchy notes, and the supporting note excerpt. Reviewers must accept, modify, or reject each suggestion, and insufficient Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat documentation is rejected with a reason and audit trail.
What is CMS-HCC v28 and is QuickIntell ready?
CMS-HCC v28 is the current CMS risk adjustment model that changes how many diagnoses map and weight into RAF. QuickIntell supports v22, v24, and v28 crosswalk visibility, defaults to cms_hcc_v28 for 2026 when appropriate, and applies the correct model, coefficient, hierarchy, and normalization factor by payment year.
How do you handle dual-mapped ICD-10 codes like E11.22?
QuickIntell treats dual-mapped ICD-10 codes as multi-HCC opportunities instead of stopping at the first match. For example, E11.22 can surface both mapped HCC categories, then hierarchy logic, segment rules, and reviewer sign-off determine what counts in the finalized RAF.
Does it write back to my EHR, including OpenEMR and others?
Yes. After approval, the finalized HCC list and RAF score write back to the EHR as a structured risk profile. With OpenEMR, recapture outreach can also write back as a care-management flag visible on the patient banner, and the same integration pattern supports other connected EHRs.
How is RADV audit defensibility supported?
Every captured HCC keeps its source encounter, ICD-10 code, model version, hierarchy decision, reviewer, and timestamp. Rejections and reversals are also logged, and audit packets can be exported from Analytics so teams can respond without rebuilding evidence from spreadsheets.
How does the ESRD segment work?
QuickIntell reads ESRD status from the patient demographic and EHR data, then uses the ESRD segment and the appropriate ESRD-HCC model when the patient qualifies. Segment changes, such as a mid-year dialysis start, are reflected in the job log and remain auditable.
What recapture lift do customers see?
The manual baseline is 70-75% typical recapture, with a 90%+ target for mature programs. For a 5,000-life Medicare Advantage panel, QuickIntell's 90-day operating target is $1.4M-$2.6M in annualized incremental revenue, depending on panel acuity, documentation quality, and workflow adoption.
How fast can we go live?
Single-patient RAF jobs usually complete in seconds once EHR integration, permissions, model settings, and reviewer queues are configured. Most teams start with connected EHR demographics, validated ICD-10 ingestion, human review routing, and Analytics exports before enabling direct CMS submission.
