Got Questions?
We’ve Got Answers!
Why do payers need retrospective reviews today?
As regulatory scrutiny increases, retrospective reviews help organizations validate previously submitted diagnoses, identify missed or unsupported risk conditions, and ensure accurate reimbursement without increasing audit exposure.
How does Chirok Health’s retrospective review support value-based care programs?
Our retrospective reviews are designed to strengthen risk adjustment accuracy and compliance, ensuring patient complexity is fully and defensibly captured across value-based contracts.
Is this service focused on revenue recovery or compliance?
Both. Chirok Health balances legitimate revenue identification with strict clinical and coding validation, ensuring every finding is compliant, defensible, and audit-ready.
How is Chirok Health’s retrospective review different from traditional HCC gap reviews?
Unlike volume-driven HCC reviews, Chirok Health applies clinical validation, AI-supported analytics, and compliance oversight to prevent overcoding, unsupported diagnoses, and future audit risk.
Can retrospective reviews increase RADV or OIG audit risk?
Only when done incorrectly. Chirok Health mitigates this risk through conservative review standards, documentation sufficiency checks, and compliance governance aligned with CMS guidelines.
Which organizations benefit most from retrospective review services?
Retrospective reviews are most effective for payers, risk-bearing providers, ACOs, and large medical groups managing complex populations and multiple value-based contracts.
How does Chirok Health ensure findings are clinically supported?
All identified conditions undergo clinical validation and coding review, ensuring diagnoses are supported by documentation and meet CMS risk adjustment requirements.
Can this service be engaged independently from other Chirok Health offerings?
Yes. Retrospective review services can be engaged as a standalone engagement for auditing, monitoring, or performance assessment, without requiring broader RCM or CDI services.
How soon can organizations see measurable outcomes?
Most organizations begin seeing measurable improvements within 60–90 days, including improved risk capture visibility, reduced documentation gaps, and stronger compliance posture.
How do retrospective reviews support long-term risk adjustment improvement?
Beyond immediate findings, retrospective insights inform provider education, documentation standards, and governance models, helping organizations reduce future gaps and sustain performance.
