Wiki Record Retention Requirements

[Tracey Thompson]

Our company provides transcription and coding services to several ASCs. I am curious about the record retention requirements for our company. I have been able to find state requirements for the provider, but I have not found anything for a transcription/coding company. Does anyone know what the requirements are and if so can you provide documentation? Thanks!

State requirements

Many of these requirements vary state-by-state. If your accountant or attorney does not have an answer, I recommend you contact your state medical society or state legislator for help in finding the regulations that would apply to your situation.

Hope that helps.
