User Groups
User Group sessions are conducted to provide MAOs and other entities with information regarding risk adjustment policy and operational guidance for testing and production data submission to the Risk Adjustment Processing System (RAPS) and the Encounter Data System (EDS).
MAOs and other entities may submit questions regarding risk adjustment and RAPS submissions to riskadjustmentpolicy@cms.hhs.gov and encounter data submissions to riskadjustmentoperations@cms.hhs.gov.
The Encounter Data and RAPS Webinar Topic Index link below enables MAOs to easily find information covered during the User Group sessions.
