In the coming weeks, Independence will conduct an 
assessment of our Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) audit process. This 
effort is to ensure that we have the proper protocols in place to prepare for, 
and comply with, requirements from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 
Services. This assessment will pertain to medical records for 2015 dates of 
service for select Independence Medicare Advantage HMO members.
We have contracted with Accenture?, an 
independent medical record retrieval vendor, to collect medical records on 
Independence’s behalf. If your office receives a request for medical 
records, we ask for your cooperation in providing the information in a timely 
manner.
If you have any questions regarding this RADV audit 
self-assessment, email us at RADVsupport@ibx.com.
