Medical Record Review – Easing the Workload of Insurance Companies Many professional service providers offer medical record review for insurance companies and greatly help to ease their workload. Insurance firms deal with a large number of personal injury cases every day. These need to be assessed, reviewed, and sorted out. Outsourcing their medical record review tasks to professional service providers would assure insurance firms of faster identification and speedier processing of insurance claims. Steps in the Medical Record Review Process The medical record review process involves the assessment of various documents – X-rays, affidavits, depositions, discharge summaries, physician records, and more. The records would be sorted and arranged into sub-sections such as progress notes, intake and output, laboratory, procedure notes, specialist consultations, diagnostic examination reports, hospital records, radiographic and imaging reports, and operative notes. Some of the other important steps in the medical record review support service available for insurance companies are:
  • Recognizing the constituents of the medical record
  • Collection, capture, and arrangement of information based on category
  • Listing of imaging records, all other records, and reviewed documents
  • Listing of information – medical care received, therapy notes, diagnostic procedures, demographic characteristics, and more
  • Medical record indexing
  • Chronological ordering of all information
  • Quantification of range of motion and outcome assessment study
Benefits of the Medical Review
  • Accuracy and completeness
  • A dedicated team of employees working on your account
  • Status reports on a daily, weekly, and/or monthly basis
  • HIPAA compliance
  • Daily 2 step quality control and auditing
  • Solutions for any kind of software
  • Fewer instances of missing records
  • Affordable competitive pricing
  • Personalized turnaround (from 4 hours onwards)
  • Improved productivity
  • Creation of chronologies and timelines
A comprehensive online search would provide you with listings of professional firms offering medical record review support services. Choose a company that has a good reputation and ask for a free trial. Outsourcing your work to a company that depends on offshore support is a good option as it helps to ensure quality service while keeping costs down.
