Data Analytics and Actionable Insights
EDPS and RAPS provide valuable data analytics capabilities, real-time dashboards, and performance metrics for data-driven decision-making.
Data Collection and Extraction
The process begins with collecting and extracting relevant patient data from various sources, such as electronic health records (EHRs), practice management systems, and other health IT systems. This data includes patient demographics, diagnoses, procedures, and other clinical information required for EDPS and RAPS submissions.
Data Validation
The collected data is thoroughly validated to ensure accuracy and completeness for accurate risk adjustment and encounter data reporting.
EDPS and RAPS Submission
Once the data validated, we prepare and submit the EDPS and RAPS files to Medicare Advantage plans or Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Constant Monitoring, Reconciliation, and Reporting
After the EDPS and RAPS submissions, we monitor the processing and acceptance of the submitted data, reconcile any discrepancies or rejections and work on resolving any issues or errors identified by the receiving entities.
The Encounter Data Processing System (EDPS) is a system used by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to collect, process, and store encounter data from Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations. This data is used for risk adjustment and payment purposes.
EDPS and RAPS are critical for ensuring accurate risk adjustment payments. Accurate data submission affects the reimbursement that MA organizations receive from CMS, impacting their financial performance and ability to provide services.
The Risk Adjustment Processing System (RAPS) is a system that CMS uses to collect diagnosis data from Medicare Advantage organizations. This data is used to adjust payments based on the health status and demographic characteristics of enrolled beneficiaries.
Medicare Advantage organizations submit encounter data to CMS through the EDPS. This data includes details about the services provided to beneficiaries, such as procedure codes, diagnoses, and provider information.
EDPS collects comprehensive encounter data, including all services provided during a patient visit, while RAPS focuses specifically on diagnosis codes used for risk adjustment purposes.
Organizations submit diagnosis data through RAPS. These diagnoses are used by CMS to calculate risk scores, which adjust payments to reflect the health status of beneficiaries.
