Faster Record Collection!

When you need medical records we take the assignment with serious urgency. Our SLAs are designed to get the request out in as little as 4 business hours. Follow-up calls in as little as 8 business hours. Our follow-up policy is designed to give providers time to respond but we take provider commitments seriously. If a provider indicates that records will be ready in 7 days you can be sure we will follow up in exactly 7 days and exactly the way their policy states.

With significant experience retrieving medical records for a broad variety of use cases, we are decisive, determined, and assertive about getting the records to you as soon as possible. Our rush SLAs are designed to keep administrative time to send out requests within 24 hrs.

Due to the depth of our knowledge and experience with medical record retrieval, we handle a variety of use cases from patient intake for cancer and genomic study clinics to complete record retrieval for research, chart retrieval for insurance, and detailed annotated records retrieval.

Contact us now for faster record collection.

Go Digital!

Most providers are required to provide you data in digital files (not faxes). This data is delivered in XML (HL7 FHIR) format. Telegenisys has built software to output this in easy to read human-readable format. For over 90% of providers, our clients do not need to struggle with low-quality faxes.

Facility handling

During vendor implementation, we call the clients to review and identify “specific instructions” to understand how best to obtain their records and make requests to fulfill sufficiency in one go.

Provider matching

We start with facility verification to ensure that the requests are going to the correct facility for which we rely on our NPI database to establish the correct facility or unique providers, organizing requests by sites and preferred retrieval methods. We also ask our clients for all required documentation upfront and provide these along with the authorization request.

Request letters

We download authorization request forms and fill these according to the client requirement. We create client-specific transmittal letters and send them to the facility medical records department. Depending on the facility requirement separate requests are prepared for billing and radiology records. Multiple requests are sent simultaneously to streamline the process.
}

Retrieval prioritization

We call the facility and verify the receipt of the request and request a tentative turn around time.

Retrieval methods

Providers send records via fax, secure email, and upload to our secure ShareFile portal. We also accept hard copies sent to us by USPS and convert these to the digital format. The physical copies are then shredded and destroyed in compliance with HIPAA. Digital copies are deleted on required schedules to ensure that protected health information is indeed protected.

Follow-up calls

We track the status of our requests by calling the facility on the dates they have asked us to call. All this information is updated in realtime on the tracker. The tracker shows the estimated collection date and highlights any delays for client guidance.

Managing client issues and escalations

The calling team is prompt in reporting any problems with the client. The manager calls the facilities and discusses ways to sort the issues whether it is a problem with some delivery or they require additional documents.

Record storage and delivery

Retrieved records stored in our secure HIPAA compliant cloud. These digital records are delivered to the client by sharing a link. There is little to no transfer downtime for seamless integration. Digitized records can be viewed directly or delivered to clients through secure transmission.

Reporting

Our account managers have several ways of communicating with clients, including dashboards and detailed reports showing current project status. Authorized client users can also access our systems directly to track progress, view records, and approve copy fees if they fall outside the policy range.
