A system to help the insurance companies make sure they are reimbursed for every portion of a Part D administered plan...almost like a clearinghouse for the carriers to submit to Medicare to have their information digitally scrubbed...as the article states they will get in touch with providers and clinics to obtain the patient records in question....so providers and clinics may be receiving requests in the near future for patient charts and records...BD
SALT LAKE CITY --(Business Wire)-- MediConnect Global, Inc. (www.mediconnect.net) today announced its patented medical record retrieval service is now available for health insurance carriers with an initial emphasis to Medicare Advantage Plans. The service allows plans to retrieve large volumes of medical charts quickly and economically to ensure complete and accurate diagnosis coding which dictates proper reimbursement from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Carriers simply provide MediConnect with a list of patients, and patient providers, whose records need to be retrieved. MediConnect then works directly with healthcare providers and clinics to retrieve and digitize all medical charts. MediConnect organizes all record requests by medical group (or individual providers), validates the medical group and provider contact data as needed, and removes duplicate requests if any.
MediConnect Global Brings Medical Record Retrieval to Health Insurance Carriers
Interesting. Communication way in health system is here in Canada often connected with problems, especially on the edge, where public and private insurance meets. Even doctors have problem with this, while insurance companies are trying sell insurance in sectors covered by public - check the article on Life Insurance Canada website.
