New Options For Managing Your Digital Medical Records
A new 2021 federal rule makes it easier for Louisiana Healthcare Connections members to manage their health information when it is needed most.
The Interoperability and Patient Access rule (CMS-9115-F) gives you control and easy access to your health information. Complete access to your health information allows you to manage your health better and know what health care resources are available to you.
The new rule makes it so you can easily find information on:
- claims (paid and denied)
- past test results
- your cost of care
- health care providers
- provider appointments
- health status
- specific parts of your clinical information
- pharmacy directory data
WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT?
Having your medical information in one place helps you and your providers understand your health better so you can make better decisions and improve your health outcomes. This often reduces health care costs. This information will follow you to any provider or health plan in the future.
