Health Risk Partners A New Vendor for Medicare Advantage HMO Member Medical Chart Review

Beginning in May 2011, AmeriHealth will use Health Risk Partners, an independent health care consulting service, to scan and review medical charts of certain Medicare Advantage HMO members for dates of service between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2010. The goal of this initiative is to accurately document correct and complete coding of claims that reflect the health status of all beneficiaries. The release of this information to Health Risk Partners is permissible under HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).

If you are selected to participate in this review, a Health Risk Partners representative will contact your office to share further details about this project and to determine the most appropriate method of retrieving Medicare Advantage HMO members' medical charts from your practice. A patient list will also be provided at that time.

We are requesting that you allow Health Risk Partners into your office to scan medical charts. To offset any administrative expense you may incur due to your participation in this effort, we will reimburse your office $10 per medical chart scanned.
