Michelle M. Wieczorek

Vice President, Coding and Clinical Integrity

Michelle is an expert in clinical integrity and risk adjustment within the framework of value based care and alternative payment models. She has practiced nationally for over 15 years in the payer and provider spaces, and has developed innovative approaches to solving for the challenge of accurate portrayal of patient acuity. With experience in Artificial Intelligence, including a US Patent in Natural Language Processing clinical rules logic, she is well positioned to guide CSI’s clients on their journey to success in value based payments.

Why Choose CSI?

While rich in specific knowledge of EHRs, CSI offers solutions that are vendor agnostic, including deep sophistication in multiple AI and Natural Language Processing coding platforms.

 

Our knowledge of alternative payment models, including those featuring Elixhauser, CMS and HHS risk adjustment methodologies is a distinctive difference. We work across the care continuum as we provide solutions to payers, providers and ACOs. We focus on an accurate depiction of patient acuity no matter the driver, the setting or the persona. Helping providers spend more time caring for the patient while reducing the documentation burden is our passion.
