HEDIS 2019 starts early February

We will begin requesting medical records in February via a phone call to your office followed by a fax.

 

The fax will contain 1) a cover letter with contact information your office can use to contact us if there are any questions; 2) a member list, which includes the member and HEDIS measure(s) the member was selected for; and 3) an instruction sheet listing the details for each HEDIS measure.  As a reminder, under HIPAA, releasing PHI for HEDIS data collection is permitted and does not require patient consent or authorization.  HEDIS and release of information is permitted under HIPAA since the disclosure is part of quality assessment and improvement activities 45 CFR 164.506(c) (4)]. For more information, visit www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy.

 

HEDIS review is time sensitive, so please submit the requested medical records within five business days.
