HAP partners with vendors to conduct medical record reviews. They contact offices directly and
provide the review details, including due dates and submission requirements.
The tables below outline our current and upcoming medical record review projects. All reviews
are conducted by our vendor, Change Healthcare, unless otherwise noted. Provider offices could
be contacted more than once due to different regulatory projects, dates of service, and
membership.
