Subject: MedAssurant records request?????

Has anyone gotten a phone call and/or fax from MedAssurant requesting chart notes for random ODS patients, stating that it is for quality assurance purposes and that HIPAA says it's okay?

Thanks!

Hi Rod

A few others said that they received a letter from MedAssurant on

this list serve last week. Letters were sent to me and others in my

clinic as well, including our M.D., so they don't seem to be

singling out CAM providers. Our M.D. received a specific request for

records as well.

I am not sure-have not been asked for records themselves. I would

assume the request will be for ODS patients.
