Frequently Asked Questions About ChartSwap’s CloudNetwork™

What is CloudNetwork™?

We created the CloudNetwork™ in order to bring a unified, digital experience with an extended set of providers by digitally connecting an to an expanded network of records providers available to any ChartSwap Requestor nationwide. As ChartSwap continues to grow its reach, the CloudNetwork™ represents an important step towards our overall goal of connecting our platform to every provider in the U.S.

ChartSwap is an online health information exchange (HIE) that connects medical and billing record providers with requestors all over the country. ChartSwap’s advanced software allows us to connect thousands different parties on one common platform that enables fast, simple and secure record request fulfillment while eliminating the need for outdated modes of communication like fax machines and postal mail.

What is the difference between a CloudNetwork™ Provider and a ChartSwap Provider?

CloudNetwork™ provides a service to obtain records to an expanded set of providers outside of the Native ChartSwap Provider Base.  A Standard ChartSwap Request is one that is completed entirely within the ChartSwap platform. Native ChartSwap Providers manage and complete all fulfillment operations directly through ChartSwap without employing the use of any third-parties or outside vendors.

CloudNetwork™ Providers digitally connect their backoffice systems to ChartSwap for all request fulfillment operations They are ntegrated to createan expanded network on the Chartswap platform. CloudNetwork™ Requests allow non-ChartSwap providers to utilize Chartswap’s electronic delivery system to fulfill record requests through ChartSwap while maintaining their own in-house fulfillment operations.

Record Request Turn-Around Times

Is the turnaround time the same for CloudNetwork™ Requests and Standard ChartSwap Requests?

Standard ChartSwap Requests can be responded to almost immediately.

CloudNetwork™ Requests are generally responded to the fastest because they eliminate the need for postal mail. CloudNetwork™ Requests are still largely dependent on individual provider’s internal workflows. By removing the barriers of faxes, snail mail and the need for status calls, our CloudNetwork™ Providers are able to greatly improve turnaround time on request fulfillment but may still be weighed down by some manual processes.  Chartswap is the fastest way to get records from both sets of Providers because its 100% digital.

On average, CloudNetwork Requests™ are returned 30-50% faster than traditional requests that do not utilize the ChartSwap platform.

Tracking Record Requests & Making Changes

How can I track a CloudNetwork™ Request?

Similar to regular Chartswap requests, the status of your request will be updated within the portal, eliminating the need for status calls. CloudNetwork™ requests come with the benefit of automatic status updates via the ChartSwap platform. To view the current status of a request, simply log into your account. If you have questions or concerns about a submitted CloudNetwork™ request, you may contact the provider directly.

How can I make a change to a CloudNetwork™ Request that has already been submitted?

Users can make changes to any ChartSwap Request by logging into your account and modifying the original request from within the portal.

Fees & Payments

What is the difference between the Instant Download Fee and the CloudNetwork™ Search Fee?

The Instant Download Fee pays the ability to instantly download records that have been uploaded directly by a Native ChartSwap Provider. It is paid upon retrieval of the electronically delivered records.

Chartswap CloudNetwork™ Search Fee pays for the convenience of obtaining records from the expanded network of providers via advanced cloud-based technology. It is paid at the time the request is initiated. Records can then be downloaded once the chosen CloudNetwork Provider has uploaded them to the ChartSwap Platform.  There is no Electronic Delivery Fee for instant downloads of these requests.

Can I pay for a CloudNetwork™ transaction by check?

No, because these transactions are digitally handed, CloudNetwork™ Requests must be paid for upfront and by an electronic payment method. Users can utilize a checking account for paymentby creating a PayPal account that allows users to pay the fee via ACH transfer rather than by credit card.

What if I want to obtain records from a CloudNetwork™ Provider but don’t want to pay the ChartSwap Search Fee?

Use of the Chartswap platform is optional. To pay and receive records by mail, you must contact the provider directly.
