AMI specializes in aiding and assisting companies that provide Release of Information (ROI) services to providers/healthcare facilities from across the US. We know that Releasing PHI is a critical activity that comes with immense responsibility requiring expert human capital having deep process understanding. We help ROI companies to scale up instantly, deliver better results, and grow profits by increasing operational capacity and optimizing costs.

We manage three main phases of the Release of Information process for ROI companies. Data Entry, Quality Assurance (Page by Page QA), & Contact Center Support. And here is a short description of each phase.

Data Entry

Once the request is received, data entry into our clients system is the first and a very important step to initiate the ROI process. It basically requires to enter information from the request into our clients portal that is typically used for three main purposes.

  • Keeping the logs of each valid/invalid request.
  • Calculating & sending out invoices.
  • Releasing verified & accurate PHI.

In this process, the Data Entry resources thoroughly review each request and enter the necessary details into the respective fields of our clients system. At AMI, we hire experienced data entry professionals and train them on the standard ROI process requirements.

At AMI, we guarantee a 0% error rate. Our defined strategy to maintain & deliver a zero percent error rate is possible with a dedicated team of internal QA resources, who's daily job is to verify the information entered by data entry reps, do 100% quality check and immediately rectify any errors found on the very same day.

Examples of standard details to be entered:

  • Requestor Type: This field defines who the requestor is? Attorney, Insurance, Provider, DDS, or the Patient.
  • Delivery Method: This field defines how the requestor wants the PHI to be delivered, US postal, fax, email, pickup, etc.
  • Date range: The exact date range of requested records is entered in this field.
  • Requestor details: Name, address, contact details, etc.
  • Patient details: Patient name, address, contact details, etc.
  • Categories: This field defines the categories of PHI that has to be released such as billing, visit notes, radiology, diagnostic, films, etc.
  • Restrictions: There are a few patients who do not authorize to release psyche notes, drug history, or STD (sexually transmitted disease) information.

Quality Assurance

Process:

Quality Assurance is one of the most vital steps in the Release of Information process. Our internal QA team verifies the requests along with the released PHI to confirm whether the requested records are released appropriately within the requested scope, verify there are no duplicate or commingled records, ensure all the requirements of HIPAA are met. Once confirmed, the QA approves the final release and the PHI gets released immediately to the requesting parties.

Strategy:

Since this crucial step requires a skill set of reading & understanding medical records, someone who's equipped with medical knowledge can quickly deliver the most accurate results. And keeping this in mind, we only hire resources from medical background and provide them necessary training based on our client's requirements. These resources ensure full compliance and accuracy prior to the release of any PHI.

Contact Center Support

This is an inbound calls support model, where ROI companies hire requestor support specialists to further enhance their requestor experience. The resources answer calls from different requestors like law firms, insurance carriers, third party record retrieval companies, patients, etc, and handle various requestor queries from our office in India.

Queries such as:

  • Mode of submission
  • Records request
  • Payment queries
  • Status of requests
  • Mode of PHI delivery
  • Record amendments
  • Confirm request ID
  • Confirm address, fax, & emails
  • Verify receipt of requests
  • Assist in how to submit a request online or by fax
  • Return voicemails in a timely manner
  • Others
