Loss of Medical or Billing Records Due to Natural Disaster

If you have medical or billing records that have been lost due to a natural disaster, an Attestation of Medical Record Loss or Destruction form should be filled out and kept in your records, in place of the records that have been lost. This form will serve as the replacement for all records lost or destroyed to the point in time of the loss or destruction. All records after the point in time of the disaster forward must be original records maintained as in the normal course of business, under the usual documentation rules.
