Question: What specific information is needed from medical providers?
For each patient and for each event of service, we need information about services provided during a specific calendar year:
  • Date(s) of service
  • Diagnoses or conditions (DSM 5 codes, ICD-10 codes or descriptions)
  • Services provided (CPT-4, DRG, revenue codes, HCPCS, or descriptions)
  • Charges for each service provided
  • Method of reimbursement (fee-for-service or capitated)
  • Sources that paid for the service (if insurance, please specify Medicare, Medicaid, private, etc.)
  • Amount paid by each source
  • Adjustment activity
  • All names, roles, specialties and contacting information for all doctors who may have billed separately for each date of service
