Dr. Ronnie Smith

Risk Adjusted Patient Care

Dr. Ronnie Smith is an internist with Vidalia Medical Associates. He has practiced medicine for
nearly 40 years. He has a medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia. Dr. Smith
graduated from the Executive Medical Management Program at the Wharton School at the
University of Pennsylvania. He is an expert in outpatient and inpatient risk adjustment documentation and coding and reimbursement, and he is passionate about educating his fellow
physicians and their practice staff on how to master risk adjustment and simplify the transition to
the new value-based care model.

Dr. Smith has developed innovative, point-of- care reference tools to assist physicians and medical practices that streamline the workflow process.

Risk-Adjusted Reimbursement

Physicians in the United States find themselves in a seismic paradigm shift from volume-based
reimbursement to value-based reimbursement. This is being driven by escalating health care
costs and an increasingly-sicker population. Pay-for- performance is consequently based on
patient risk scoring, and quality measures are being used at every level of our health care system.
These changes are meant to stimulate quality improvement and cost-efficiency within the health
care system.

Physician reimbursement that is tied to patient risk scoring is here to stay, so it is imperative for
physicians to understand how patient risk scoring works because it will affect their income in
significant ways.  Risk adjustment uses a patient’s health status in a base year to predict or estimate what utilization costs should be the following year. If a physician fails to recognize risk-adjusting diagnoses and under code them, they will likely fail under today’s value-based reimbursement system. The clinical management of the utilization-based spending that will be required to qualify for any shared savings incentives will be challenging.

If a physician can accurately and thoroughly document how sick their patients are, they stand a far
better chance of achieving their budget objectives. This, then, gives them the best opportunity to
receive the shared savings incentives and to minimize their risk for shared losses.  Dr. Smith’s key steps to succeed under the new value-based, pay-for- performance reimbursement models include…

  • Verifying that your EHR is capable of submitting at least 12 diagnosis codes per clinical
    encounter.
  • Retrieving, analyzing and understanding your Quality and Resource Use Reports (QRURs) for
    Medicare Part B.
  • Getting informed and trained on risk adjustment methodology.
  • Scheduling all of your attributed patients in your managed care plans, including Medicare Part
    B and Medicare Advantage plans, for an office visit at least once, and preferably twice, during
    each calendar year.

Dr. Ellen Shaver is the chair of CopernicusMD. After 25 years as a board-certified neurosurgeon,

Dr. Shaver knew there had to be a better way to manage practice cash flow, patient billing

notifications, carrier approvals, and collections. Her desire to enhance practice operations as well

as the patient experience led her to form CopernicusMD.

Don O’Neill is the executive managing director of CopernicusMD. Don is responsible for the

execution, launch and roll-out of the CopernicusMD platform in the private practice and facility

and public and government services sectors. He has a wealth of experience in both consumer-

facing technology solutions and project management. Don previously served as the general

manager of CreditMiner LLC, where he successfully launched a cutting-edge platform for

consumer credit in loan transactions and enabled the company to obtain full reseller status with

the three major credit bureaus.

Guest Information

CopernicusMD

The cost of medical procedures and insurance-related expenses continues to rise. Patients are

increasingly expected to pay a larger sum of money at the time procedures are performed. More

than 60 percent of employed Americans are unprepared for an out-of- pocket expense of $5,000

or more. The market for financing in medical procedures continues to evolve with new lenders

entering the space each year. Each lender has a very specific credit profile which they seek from

potential patients/clients. Managing these options is time consuming and frustrating for both the

provider and the patient.

CopernicusMD queries a patient’s ICD-10 codes against their insurance to determine how much

they will be responsible to pay out-of- pocket. It offers qualifying patients the option of financing

their medical expenses. CopernicusMD (instead of practice staff) takes on the responsibility of

managing the billing and collection of those payments. CopernicusMD pre-qualifies patients for a

loan if they need one. It also matches patients with lenders. CopernicusMD is not a collection

agency; it is a finance solution.
