Annual Medical Records Requests for Risk Adjustment Audit

Providers who delivered care to EmblemHealth and ConnectiCare Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchange members are required to respond to the annual Department of Health & Human Services Risk Adjustment Data Validation Audit (HHS-RADV).

Beginning this summer, Cognisight, Inc., our contracted Initial Validation Auditor (IVA), will contact providers who cared for EmblemHealth and ConnectiCare members who are part of the HHS-RADV sample. Cognisight will ask providers to submit the complete medical record for specific patients for dates of service between Jan. 1, 2022, and Dec. 31, 2022.

When you receive a request from Cognisight, we ask that you respond promptly and submit the required documentation using a secure delivery method. Cognisight will provide detailed submission instructions in its communication materials.

Providers who work with a vendor to manage medical records are encouraged to notify their service suppliers now so that responses to Cognisight’s requests can be issued in a timely manner.

NOTE: A member authorization is not required to release the medical records based on the business associate agreement between EmblemHealth/ConnectiCare and Cognisight.
