When I began putting RAF into play in my own practice, I realized that as a Family Provider, the main codes continued to reappear. The techniques developed became second nature. Gifted with the ability to translate complex medical problems into simple language for some of my uneducated patients; I became aware that this gift should be used to break down the barriers that exist with Risk Adjustment Factor Coding. This book is written in a simplified format with characterizations to help get the point across. By placing these techniques into practice, the patientâ€™s illnesses will be accurately portrayed, and the Providerâ€™s bottom line will improve.
