Episode 14: Apixio’s Breanna Krebs on how to prepare for the 2023 Medicare Advantage sweep season
Breanna Krebs, the director of customer success at Apixio, joins us for the latest episode of RISE Radio, our podcast series that focuses on issues that impact our three communities: Quality & Revenue; Medicare Member Acquisition & Experience; and Social Determinants of Health.
In this 11-minute podcast, Krebs discusses the impact of the double sweeps occurring this July and next January related to the extension deadline for submitting risk adjustment data for use in the risk score calculation run that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic; what the end of the extension deadline means; potential challenges to the return of regular submission deadlines in a post-pandemic landscape; and best practices to stay ahead of these compressed deadlines and ensure the accuracy of your risk adjustment data submissions to CMS.
Deadlines for the 2023 sweeps of risk adjustment data are as follows:
- Tuesday, January 31: Interim run of first sweep for dates of service January 1-December 31, 2021
- Monday, July 31: Final run or second sweep for dates of service January 1-December 31, 2021
