Speeding up the Social Security Disability process
Social Security is working on expanding opportunities for working with Health Information Technology (Health IT). This will allow the use of electronic data exchanges to speed up the process for Social Security to reason people’s medical records directly from the provider.
“I’ve directed the reinvigoration of the Health IT initiative, as it benefits everyone involved – SSA, our customers, health care providers, and American taxpayers,” said Lee Dudek, Acting Commissioner of Social Security. “We are committed to more effectively and efficiently obtaining medical records through this program. I thank those healthcare providers that exchange information with us through Health IT and encourage other providers to partner with us.”
