NEW YORK,Aug. 26, 2021/PRNewswire/ -- OneRecord further broadens the reach of its brand new Insurance Module listing Aetna to their Connected Payers list. Now any consumer with an Aetna plan - that is mandated under the CMS Interoperability and Patient Access Final Rule (CMS-9115-F) - can get their clinical, financial, and formulary data in their OneRecord.

OneRecord, a digital health company, that enables consumers to access, aggregate, and share their healthcare data has developed a consumer health plan data component to their platform.  This advancement makes finding health plan records as accessible as finding health care records. Aetna stands alongside a list of over 40 supported Payers within OneRecord including: Centene Corporation, Humana and Delaware Medicaid. OneRecord anticipates supporting all plans mandated by the 21st Century Cures Act.

Founded in 1853, Aetna is one of the nation's leading diversified health care benefits companies, serving an estimated 46.7 million people.  The CVS Health business believes in helping people live healthier lives through resources that make the communities and world we live in better places.  Now, as the next supported Payer to be launched on the OneRecord Insurance Module, which debuted on July 1st of this year, Aetna provides its members with a digital channel to access personal medical information. 

OneRecord CEO and Co-Founder Jennifer Blumenthal comments, "Under the CMS Interoperability and Patient Access Rule, Aetna members will be able to obtain and use all electronically available information that is relevant to their healthcare through OneRecord. Our next big feature we are working on is utilizing Aetna's Provider Directory API so members can search for providers in Aetna's Medicare and Medicaid networks. In the simplest terms, this means you as a consumer will be able to find the right specialist, book an appointment, and automatically receive a copy of the consultation note, lab results, and all relevant information. 

OneRecord is accessible on desktop, tablets, and mobile phones. Find OneRecord on the VA.gov App Store, the Apple App Store (supporting iPhones running iOS 12.4+), and Google Play (for devices running Android 9+) or on the web at www.onerecord.com with the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.

Now Members from Aetna Health Plans Can Access Clinical, Financial, and Formulary Data with OneRecord

OneRecord continues to join pioneering initiatives such as this universal Endpoint Directory by CAQH. As one of the three 3rd third-party applications validated, OneRecord is able to connect members to payer data and visa-versa. The CAQH Endpoint Directory will enable payers and application developers to quickly and efficiently find and validate the connections needed to exchange information. The solution will help payers meet Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) interoperability regulations that are actively becoming effective.

OneRecord Is Listed as One of the first Validated Applications in the CAQH National Directory of FHIR Endpoints

The Newly Listed Third-Party Application, OneRecord, will demonstrate their Functionality with CAQH at HIMSS 2021

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- OneRecord - available free on iOS, Android, and the web - becomes one of the earliest listed applications in the CAQH National Directory of FHIR Endpoints. The CAQH Endpoint Directory will enable payers and application developers to quickly and efficiently find and validate the connections needed to exchange information.  

OneRecord continues to be first-in-line to join pioneering initiatives such as this universal Endpoint Directory. As one of the three 3rd third-party applications validated, OneRecord is now able to connect members to payer data and visa-versa. The solution will help payers meet Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) interoperability regulations that are actively becoming effective.

OneRecord launched its Payer Module in June of 2021 and is also live with many of the largest payers in the United States, including Aetna, Centene Corporation, Humana, and many more.  Members from health plans connected to OneRecord can access their clinical, financial, and formulary data in one place - their OneRecord. 

CAQH has invited OneRecord to demonstrate the Endpoint Directory functionality at the HIMSS Interoperability Showcase this summer. As a patient-facing third-party app, OneRecord will exhibit how their application can find a payer's endpoint using the CAQH directory, make a connection request, and ultimately retrieve the requesting patient's info via the patient access API.

"Finding and being authorized to access FHIR endpoints has been the biggest pain point over the past year for OneRecord with provider organizations. With Payers, we are seeing a true willingness to make their endpoints publicly available for third-party applications to discover and use. CAQH's directory is a huge step and will help many third-party applications and payers prepare for Payer to Payer Data Exchange," comments OneRecord Cofounder and CEO, Jennifer Blumenthal.  "We applaud CAQH, along with Edifecs and EHNAC, for leading the charge in open FHIR directory access. And we look forward to everyone seeing OneRecord connect with payer FHIR endpoints in a production environment at HIMSS next week!"  

Members from Centene Health Plans can access claims data via their OneRecord - a personal consolodated medical records and insurance claims portal.

NEW YORK, July 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- OneRecord takes another leap forward by adding Centene Corporation to their Connected Payers list.  Centene is now the second Payer to be launched within OneRecord's brand new insurance module. With this addition, members of Centene health plans within the scope of the 21st Century Cures Act can access their clinical, financial, and formulary data in one place - their OneRecord. 

OneRecord, a digital health platform that enables consumers to access, aggregate, and share their healthcare data continues to expand support to Healthcare Payers and their members as mandated by the 21st Century Cures Act Interoperability and Patient Access Final Rule (CMS-9115-F).

OneRecord CEO and CoFounder Jennifer Blumenthal comments, "the Centene integration was seamless. The Centene team has been an amazing partner in this CMS Patient Access journey. From the start, they were responsive, supportive, and a wealth of knowledge. Both organizations are coming together in the name of patients so we can advance healthcare for all. This is a great step forward in advocating for data transparency for consumers."

OneRecord, a digital health platform that enables consumers to access, aggregate, and share their healthcare data has expanded to support Healthcare Payers and their members as mandated by the 21st Century Cures Act Interoperability and Patient Access Final Rule (CMS-9115-F). Humana becomes thier first supported payer.

OneRecord Launches Insurance Module with Humana as the First Supported Payer

Now All Members From Any Humana Health Plan Can Access Claims Data via OneRecord

NEW YORK, July 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- OneRecord, a digital health platform that enables consumers to access, aggregate, and share their healthcare data has expanded to support Healthcare Payers and their members as mandated by the 21st Century Cures Act Interoperability and Patient Access Final Rule (CMS-9115-F). 

On July 1st, OneRecord launched their insurance module on their iOS, Android, and Web Apps with Humana as the first supported Payers. Founded in 1961, Humana Inc. is the 3rd largest health insurer in the nation. An organization whose goal is to help millions of medical and specialty members achieve their best health. Their dedication to their members goes above and beyond with their delivery of a developer-first API that empowers members with their own data. 

OneRecord supports payers in meeting the CMS Interoperability and Patient Access Final Rule (CMS-9115-F)  where consumers can have a 360° view of their healthcare data including their discrete clinical data, clinical documents, claims information, insurance coverage, insurance payment information, and care team information all in one place. 

The first and only cross-device platform that enables consumers to access, aggregate and share health data on any device, OneRecord represents true interoperability moving beyond Apple Health and Google Health with apps on iOS, Android and the web. A consumer can now access all of their data on any device giving them true freedom from any operating system and the ability to choose any device to get their data.

OneRecord chose to launch with Humana because Humana went above and beyond the federal mandate to enable all of their members across all lines of business, including commercial plans, to access their data through a standards based API.

This announcement is part of the culmination of the CMS Patient Access Rule going into effect this past July 1, 2021. The CMS Patient Access Rule ensures that an additional 85 million patients have access to their health information in a standardized digital format, on top of the almost 40 million Medicare beneficiaries who already have access to their data through Blue Button 2.0. The underlying tenets of the law were first brought up about 10 years ago and are finally in effect. For the first time, consumers can expect that their health information will be readily available to them. And platforms like OneRecord are leading the charge in delivering that data.

"Now OneRecord supports medical data AND claims data, all in one place" announces Jennifer Blumenthal, CEO and Co-Founder of OneRecord.  "This provides a more complete picture of health information than ever. Think about it like television going from standard definition to high definition - there are so many more details and ways to have your healthcare work for you."

Consumers Can Now Find and Securely Store Vaccine Records on Their Mobile Devices

OneRecord Delivers Vaccine Wallet Pass

NEW YORK, April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- OneRecord, a digital health company with apps on iOS, Android, and web – announces brand new features to find, store, and present vaccination records from iOS and web devices. This ability is taken one step further by giving users with iPhones the ability to easily access their vaccine records with their Apple Wallet.

In collaboration with Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI) as both an individual member and a member of the CARIN Alliance, OneRecord is committed to empowering consumers with trustworthy and verifiable copies of their vaccination records in digital or paper form. OneRecord will be one of the early applications for general availability using the SMART Health Cards Framework Implementation Guide based on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Verifiable Credential and Health Level 7 (HL7) FHIR standards.

OneRecord's wallet pass works by enabling the user to connect their existing health portals to their OneRecord app and fetching data via secure FHIR APIs. Unlike a tethered patient portal that relies on a single health system, OneRecord is an untethered application that can find and pull digital health records from any source a user provides. By introducing the vaccination record and immunization lookups, OneRecord will help users navigate the final phases of the COVID-19 pandemic as the world transitions back to a new normal. 

Furthermore, the vaccine wallet pass developed by OneRecord will support vaccination and immunization records of all types (ex. Hep. A, Hep. B, Cholera, etc.) expanding its use case outside of just COVID-19. Vaccines are a requirement for traveling internationally, working within certain job sites, and for students attending public schools and universities. With vaccination records at the user's fingertips, the process of providing proof of vaccination and entering those settings will be more seamless than ever. No patient portal? No problem. Users can also use OneRecord's medical files management system to upload a photo of their vaccination record to the application for secure digital safe-keeping. 

The integration between OneRecord's vaccine wallet pass and the Apple Wallet is indeed novel. Similar to digital airline boarding passes, users can store and pull up their vaccination records with the Apple Wallet itself. "We're thinking big about consumer features. A wallet record is the new normal, it's secure, shareable, and it won't fall out of your pocket," says CEO and Co-Founder of OneRecord, Jennifer Bluementhal. "It's about time healthcare technology seamlessly adds value to consumers in an everyday way."  

OneRecord isn't stopping here and is already working on bringing the same vaccination and wallet pass features to Android devices and all web platforms. Along with that, OneRecord is working on an end-to-end experience where a digital QR code can be scanned by a receiving organization for additional verification through State Immunization Registries. Healthcare has been catalyzed into the forefront of our everyday life and OneRecord is taking on the challenge of providing the right solutions to keep our world running smoothly. Get back to a new normal, backed by OneRecord.

OneRecord is available on the VA.gov App Store, the Apple App Store (supporting iPhones running iOS 12.4+), and Google Play (for devices running Android 9+). Or, access your full health history on OneRecord.com with the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.

OneRecord's CEO, Jennifer Blumenthal, joins the Sequoia Project's Interoperability Matters Information Blocking Workgroup to provide practical solutions to patient access challenges.

Addressing Information Blocking Challenges Head-on

January 29, 2021 - The Sequoia Project’s Interoperability Matters Information Blocking Workgroup (IBWG) has invited Jennifer Blumenthal, CEO and co-founder of OneRecord, to join their newly launched Healthcare Providers Subgroup.

The Sequoia Project, a non-profit dedicated to solving health IT interoperability for the public good, established three subgroups to reflect the issues facing distinct actor categories affected by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology’s (ONC) final rule on interoperability and information blocking, the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) proposed rule on information blocking enforcement and any related future rule making.

The Sequoia Project Interoperability Matters Information Blocking Workgroup is charged with providing input to The Sequoia Project and the interoperability community on public and private sector implementation of U.S. federal government laws, regulations, guidance, and enforcement for information blocking as defined in the 21st Century Cures legislation. The Workgroup identifies practical, implementation-level implications of proposed and final rules issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services addressing information blocking. It focuses on the broad needs of public and private sector stakeholders and at the same time remains focused on implementation-level and operational aspects of information blocking rules and related activities.

The three Information Blocking Subgroups 1) Healthcare Providers 2) Health IT Developers 3) HIE/HINs are designed to identify issues of particular importance by “actor” and create guidance, best practices, and recommendations for “actors” relating to Information Blocking and Patient Access Final Rule (CMS-9115-F).

Jennifer imparts a unique perspective from the data requestor category to the Healthcare Provider subgroup as the CEO of OneRecord - a consumer data management platform built on best practices as defined in interoperability standards and using secured APIs, to enable individuals to take control of their healthcare. The Healthcare Provider subgroup will be meeting monthly and supply feedback in anticipation of the Information Blocking compliance date which was recently extended to be April 5, 2021. 

“As an app enabling consumers to access and aggregate their healthcare data from across healthcare organizations, we are uniquely positioned to provide feedback on the real-world barriers that still exist for consumers in accessing their Electronic Health Information (EHI) as defined by CMS-9115-F. This included but not limited to the adoption of FHIR APIs, whitelisting of third party apps and education relating to a consumer’s Right of Access under HIPAA.”
