Frequently asked questions about CareReady

How do agencies catch documentation gaps before an auditor or a denial does?
By auditing each chart against Medicare requirements and agency policy before the claim is submitted, rather than after a denial arrives. CareReady reviews the record you already have and flags missing documents, signatures, and timing while there's still time to fix them.
What is an ADR, and how should an agency respond to one?
An Additional Documentation Request (ADR) asks an agency to prove a claim was covered by submitting the supporting record. CareReady assembles appeal-ready coverage support from the existing chart, so the response maps directly to the coverage criteria the reviewer is checking.
How is a chart audit different from OASIS or coding review?
OASIS and coding review focus on specific assessment and diagnosis accuracy; a chart audit asks whether the record as a whole supports coverage and compliance before billing. CareReady audits the full chart against Medicare rules and your Agency Policy IQ requirements so nothing that affects coverage is missed.
