I was jumping between four browser tabs every chart review — the encoder, the HCC crosswalk, the drug reference, and NPPES. Now it's all in one place. The RAF weight showing right next to the HCC flag is the detail that makes it worth it.

Codify is great for general coding but it wasn't built for risk adjustment work. HCC Buddy has the V24/V28 dual mapping built in, which matters when you're working on transition-year charts.

Ask Buddy is the one I show people at team meetings. Being able to ask a clinical documentation question and get a coding rationale in seconds — that's the part that gets everyone.
