Responding to Requests to Amend Medical Records

January 6, 2023

Dear OMIC Insureds:

The HIPAA Privacy Rule allows patients the right to request amendments to their medical record. Once the request is made the physician has the right to determine if the changes will be made and the response should be provided no later than 60 days from the receipt of the request. The medical record should contain the patient’s request to amend the record and the physician’s response.

A detailed description of the Amendment of Protected Health Information provides the necessary information to evaluate and respond in a timely manner.

If you have questions, contact us for confidential risk management advice at riskmanagement@omic.com or 1-800-562-6642, enter 4 for OMIC Risk Management.

Sincerely,

Michelle Pineda

Six reasons OMIC is the best choice for ophthalmologists in America.

Best at defending claims.

An ophthalmologist pays nearly half a million dollars in premiums over the course of a career. Premium paid is directly related to a carrier’s claims experience. OMIC has a higher win rate taking tough cases to trial, full consent to settle (no hammer) clause, and access to the best experts. OMIC pays 25% less per claim than other carriers. As a result, OMIC has consistently maintained lower base rates than multispecialty carriers in the U.S.
