Date: 05/05/21
Beginning in mid-May, the CMS PERM Audit Review Contractor, NCI, Inc., will be requesting medical records from providers whose Medicaid or CHIP Fee-for-Service claims are randomly selected for review.
If one or more of your claims is selected, KDHE will notify you via an announcement letter. An educational webinar will be offered to help direct you through the process of submitting records. Actual medical records requests will arrive at your office directly from NCI, Inc. KDHE staff will be available to answer questions and assist you in meeting submission deadlines.
