Medical Record Retrieval for Health Insurance Carriers - New Release

A new medical record retrieval system has been made available today. MediConnect Global, Inc. has developed a system allowing health insurance carriers to complete medical chart risk adjustment before submissions. The initial focus will be to assist Medicare Advantage Plans. Using this service, health insurance carriers can quickly retrieve large volumes of medical charts. From these, the health insurance carriers can solicit accurate diagnosis coding which is used to determine the proper reimbursement from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). It’s also very thorough and economical.

According to MediConnect CEO, Amy Rees Anderson, “MediConnect provides carriers with a single source solution for retrieving and digitizing mass volumes of medical records from any or all of their providers.” “Retrieving these records allows them to perform risk adjustment reviews either before submitting to Medicare for reimbursement or after the initial submission in order to appeal any underpaid reimbursements. A Medicare Advantage plan that does not retrieve and review these records is likely to leave significant money on the table in their reimbursements from CMS.”

All health insurance carriers need to do is give the list of patients and patient providers for the records that need to be retrieval to MediConnect. The MediConnect people work directly with the healthcare providers and clinics. MediConnect will then retrieve and digitize all the medical charts. The records requested will be organized by medical group (or individual providers). The medical group and provider contact data will be also be validated as needed. Any duplicates will be removed.

After all the records have been received, MediConnect indexes them. It will then host the digitized record copies online and transmit them to the Medicare Advantage plan or other health insurance carrier. This will ensure that the complete and accurate diagnosis coding has been performed for submission to CMS and provide for proper reimbursement to health insurance carriers for each plan member.

MediConnect offers streamlined and time-proven technology. It can support both the national market and the global market. It is very scalable and can be suited to each individual health insurance carrier’s needs. It is very fast, efficient and economic in its ability to retrieve a high percentage of medical records for multiple purposes
