AmeriHealth recently launched the 2012 Retrospective Chart Review Program for
our Medicare Advantage HMO benefits plan. We contracted with MediConnect
Global, Inc. (MediConnect), a division of Verisk Health, a health care
consulting company, to gather records for this review. As a Medicare Advantage
Managed Care Organization, AmeriHealth is required to meet the standards set by
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
If you are selected to participate, a MediConnect representative will contact
you to share further details about this review and to determine the most
appropriate method of retrieving charts from your practice. In an effort to
make this process easier for our provider community, this year we have
additional options for chart submission. You may:
upload medical record images to a secure portal at
www.submitrecords.com;
send a secure fax of the medical records to
1-800-391-5325
;
mail copies of the medical records to the address listed in the letter you
receive.
We appreciate your assistance in this important program. To offset any
administrative expenses you may incur due to your participation in this effort,
we will reimburse your office $10 per chart scanned.
