The HCC Coder User Group


These user groups are telephonic meeting groups, chaired by RISE HCC coding faculty, and made up of professional coders and CDI specialists focused on risk adjusted government programs such as Medicare Advantage, ACA marketplace, and Medicaid lines of business.  The coders work for health plans and provider organizations, for the most part, although some work for vendors / service providers or as independent contractors. We also have some actuaries involved in our group meetings, as well as compliance specialists.

The purpose of the user group is to bring up current coding / documentation questions or challenges where a member wants to get input or advice from colleagues and peers. Often the open dialogue format provides an in-depth conversation that helps clarify or identify key factors considered to come to a final resolution.  This peer-based interactivity is the key to the success and popularity of this forum.

The SDoH User Groups


These user groups are telephonic meeting groups, chaired by RISE board members or select volunteers, and made up of industry leaders and staff from health plans and health care providers. We also have representatives from community-based organizations who are closely aligned with Social Determinants of Health, as well as participants who work for community partners of the association or those who work as independent contractors.

The purpose of these user groups is to meet virtually to discuss pressing topics and learn from others in the industry. Three user group streams will meet to discuss pressing topics and learn from others in the industry. Quarterly cross-sector meetings will also take place amongst the groups.

The four SDoH user groups are as follows:

Health Plans User Groups

Join a group of health plans across the nation to benchmark best practices and exchange ideas with peers, facilitated by RISE Steering Committee Chairs. Gain insights into other payers’ SDoH efforts with tactical takeaways on funding, contracting issues, lessons learned in operationalizing SDoH pilots (including data sharing, metrics and outcomes) and best practices in convening both internally and externally to ultimately scale SDoH programs. Actively participate, share your ideas, and identify approaches that might make a difference for your organization. 

Health Care Providers User Group

 Join a group of health care providers, including health systems, hospitals ACO’s, physician practices and more to discuss SDoH best practices with industry peers. Gain insights into how other healthcare providers are partnering across the ecosystem to provide best-in-class care to the most vulnerable populations. Key topics will be focused around what’s working and what’s not in various SDoH programs (food, housing, transport, etc.), tapping into funding streams and lessons learned in operationalizing SDoH pilots (including data sharing, metrics and outcomes). Actively participate, share your ideas, and identify approaches that might make a difference for your organization. 

CBO and Non-Profit User Group

 Join a group of community-based organizations / non-profits to discuss opportunities and overcoming roadblocks in executing SDoH programs and partnering with other healthcare stakeholders, facilitated by RISE Steering Committee Chairs. Hear how other CBO’s are successfully operationalizing SDoH programs and gain insights into funding streams, overcoming contractual issues, how each sector can utilize the strong suits of the other and keys to “speaking the same language”. Actively participate, share your ideas, and identify approaches that might make a difference for your organization. 

SDoH Across the Healthcare Ecosystem User Group

 Drive this industry forward by connecting with cross-sectional stakeholders from payers, providers, CBO's, government and funders to discuss actionable, tactical and scalable solutions to SDoH challenges and drive social good. Discuss and receive the feedback, guidance, and experiential insights into best practices around convening, contracting, funding and more! Get in the mix, share your ideas, and learn with the best.
