Annual commercial plan federal audit
Submit member medical records to comply
As a UnitedHealthcare commercial plan network health care professional, you may be randomly selected to provide members’ medical records for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) annual Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) Program audit. We are asking various health care professionals to provide the supporting medical documentation of our members’ medical services for review.
What’s needed from you
You’ll need to provide medical records of chosen members selected within a specific 2022 service period. Since only a select number of enrollees will be picked for the audit, not all health care professionals will receive this request. If you are contacted, you’ll be asked to provide the following documentation:
- Demographics sheet
- Progress notes/face-to-face office visits
- Consultation reports/notes
- Discharge summary
- Emergency room records
- History and physical exam
- Medication list
- Operative/procedure notes
- Prescription for laboratory services
- Problem list
- Radiology and pathology services
- Radiology reports
Note: UnitedHealthcare members covered under an individual and/or small group plan will also be included in this audit.
