Evaluation criteria
Profile notes
What to confirm before you sign
Hooper Holmes / Portamedic publishes 2 of the 8 fields in the Content Hub rubric. Across the 19 Insurance Underwriting & Payer Chart Review vendors profiled here, the median is 4 of 8. Of the 6 it leaves unpublished, these 2 matter most.
- How do you charge — per page, per file, per hour, or per seat?Get the unit before you scope a pilot. A per-hour or per-seat quote and a per-page quote behave very differently once a file runs past 1,000 pages.
- What does a real 1,000-page file cost, all in?Ask for a worked example rather than a rate card. Duplicate pages, rush fees and monthly minimums are where the quoted rate and the final invoice separate.
The other 7 questions, and what all 270 profiled vendors do and do not publish, are in the evaluation guide.
