Risk Adjustment
A process used by health insurance companies to adjust payments based on the health status of their enrollees. It ensures that plans enrolling higher-risk individuals (such as those with chronic conditions) are compensated to maintain financial stability. Medicare Advantage and ACA Marketplace plans use risk adjustment.
