CMS Risk Adjustment Email Accounts Upgrade


CMS is sending this notification to inform MAOs that the Risk Adjustment Operations (riskadjustmentoperations@cms.hhs.gov) and the Risk Adjustment Policy (riskadjustmentpolicy@cms.hhs.gov) mailboxes are being upgraded within the next week.

As a result of the upgrade, inquirers who send questions to Risk Adjustment Operations or Risk Adjustment Policy will receive auto-generated, no-response confirmation emails from ‘riskadjustmentmailboxsupport@cms.hhs.gov’. This email will provide an inquiry number to use when communicating with CMS regarding your inquiry. Since some security systems are set up to send such emails to a ‘junk/spam’ folder, CMS is requesting that you add ‘riskadjustmentmailboxsupport@cms.hhs.gov’ to your contacts to ensure that your confirmation email will not be misdirected.

The ‘riskadjustmentmailboxsupport@cms.hhs.gov’ email is an automated, no-response mailbox and will not being monitored.

Please continue to  send riskadjustmentoperations@cms.hhs.gov your operational questions related to risk adjustment, such as data submission, processing, and reporting.  Also, please continue to send riskadjustmentpolicy@cms.hhs.gov your policy questions related to risk adjustment, such as risk score calculation, diagnoses to be included in risk scores, and schedules for model runs.
