Opportunity for ClinicNET affiliates to join the HCPF Medicaid eConsult Test Group for Rheumatology

“The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing is starting a new eConsult program test group that is designed to use an online electronic consultation system built into CORHIO’s health information exchange. The system enables primary care providers and physician specialists to easily discuss care for Medicaid clients and securely share health information (medical records, lab results, imagery, etc). HCPF is establishing a small test group with Rheumatologists from UCHealth and Denver Health as well as about 10 PCMP practices/clinics to evaluate the system.

This test group would help with rheumatology access for some clients and also help the evaluate the eConsult system. The Department will be paying PCMPs $10 for each eConsult and the only requirement is that the practice must already be registered with CORHIO. The flexibility of this program allows it to fit into the current workflows of any providers, referral coordinators and/or staff that would be involved. The eConsult test is an available resource to be used whenever it’s helpful; no big commitment required from participants.

You can still participate! If you are interested in participating, please contact JD Belshe at JD.Belshe@state.co.us or 303.866.2184, or Matt Vedal at Matt.Vedal@state.co.us.” [Source: HCPF]
