Simplify Payer Audits & Reviews

---

In an effort to streamline health data exchange for your organization, you can now enable the CommonWell Payment & Operations use case in your EHR to transmit medical records.

For nearly all healthcare organizations, payer reviews and audits are difficult, unpredictable and time-consuming, causing an undue burden on your HIM staff. That’s why we’re excited to announce that you now have a much easier, more streamlined way to transmit health records via your EHR’s connection to CommonWell. 

How It Works

This feature is already established at your EHR and requires only a few steps.

• Complete a simple form to get started. 
• DataFile Exchange will coordinate with your EHR partner to facilitate the enrollment.
• You may be asked to confirm your enrollment through your EHR. 

Simple, Hassle-Free Enrollment

We’ve made it easy to enable the Payment & Operations use case in your EHR.

• No cost to enroll.
• No integration necessary.
• No IT required.
• No coordination with the payers that are members of CommonWell.
• You may still be contacted by other payers outside of the CommonWell network.

Relief from Unpredictable Volumes & Hourly Staffing Issues Amidst COVID
Health insurance payers rely on continuous access to patient health data, but the increased volume over day-to-day records requests causes challenges for most healthcare organizations. Responding to hundreds or even thousands of these requests can displace key team members or require HIM departments to open offices to temporary staff or onsite auditors, creating compliance risks, work disruptions and space issues. 

By enrolling in the CommonWell Payment & Operations use case available in your EHR, you can mitigate these concerns and leverage interoperability to streamline your records fulfillment process.
