FYI
|
IPRO,
the federally-funded non-for-profit Medicare
Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) for
New York State, has been asked by the U.S.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) to
increase awareness of the Medicare quality
of care review process. Although this review
process is available to all of the almost
three million Medicare beneficiaries in New
York State, only a small fraction ever take
advantage of it-simply because they aren't
aware it exists.
IPRO reviews concerns about the
quality of medical care received in
hospitals, nursing homes, home health
agencies, hospices, outpatient facilities or
physician's offices and works with providers
to improve care for future patients.
Medical experts at IPRO conduct
impartial reviews to determine if care met
professional standards and ensure that the
complainant or their representative is kept
up-to-date on the progress of their case
from start to finish. There is no cost for
this service.
The quality of care concern help line
is 1-866-391-4682. For more information on
Medicare beneficiary rights and the review
process, visit www. yourhealthyourvoice.org.
