Hi everyone,
We just received a "request" for patient records from Altegra Health, acting as an agent for UPMC, for a "Medicare Risk Adjustment Review". We have 39 patients that qualify.
They will be sending someone to our office. They want us to create one PDF file per patient, with progress notes for all encounters for 2012.
I imagine that there is an easier way to do this, but at the moment all I can think of is to print the encounters, then scan as PDFs. Am I overlooking the obvious?
Thanks. Gene
I agree with all of the above, hand them a disk, after collecting a fee. Make sure that they have documents to show that they are a business partner of medicare and that you are allowed to share information with them. No documentation of their HIPPA status, no records. Don't even ask until you get the money
