For Doctors
Using the Health Information Exchange
With Rochester RHIO's community health information exchange (HIE), physicians can instantly access patient information —including lab results, radiology reports and images, clinical documents, hospital discharge summaries and admission/discharge notification—from RHIO's 14-county service area, which serves over 1.5 million residents. RHIO also helps physicians who already have an electronic health record (EHR) system for managing patient information and supports EHR adoption throughout the community. RHIO's Regional Account Manager team also supports hospitals and physician practices in their efforts to achieve CMS "Meaningful Use" certification.

Fees
Rochester RHIO receives public funding from New York State to provide a variety of technology services to its participants as part of the Statewide Health Information Network of New York (SHIN-NY). QEs must use these funds to provide a minimum set of services to their members at no charge. QEs are permitted to offer additional services as “value-added” services for which they may collect a fee. The Rochester RHIO Fee Schedule provides a summary of available services for the current year.
New York State QEs are required to provide this disclosure to prospective QE participants, and upon request at any time. More: Rochester RHIO Core Fee Schedule.
If you'd like to know more about the value-added services offered by RHIO, contact RHIO Support at support@grrhio.org or call 1-877-865-7446 (RHIO).
