LOINC long common name : Risk adjustment factor [Score];
LOINC short name : RAF Score;
LOINC description : The Risk Adjustment Factor score (RAF) is calculated by the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) on a quarterly basis. An individual patient's RAF is based
on a combination of Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCCs), which are associated
with ICD-10 diagnoses, and patient demographics (including gender and age). RAFs are
used to calculate annual expenditure for an individual patient and help providers
and insurers determine the potential financial risks of patient care. [www.aafp.org/fpm/2016/0900/p24.html];
