Tips for a Successful Appeal Start early Ask questions Provide documentation Some data inconsistencies are inherent when using different data sources Help substantiate that there is a mistake, not just an inconsistency Ex: POs often have better rates than health plans for measures including supplemental data (like blood pressure control). Identifying this difference will not result in a successful appeal. POs must provide evidence that supplemental data was successfully shared with a contracted health plan, and the plan failed to include the data in rate calculation. If you re still not sure Ask more questions! Send questions to p4p@ncqa.org Please do not send IHA any Protected Health Information! 2016 Integrated Healthcare Association. All rights reserved. 19
