CERT: Inpatient Psychiatric Facility Checklist

Use this checklist when your claim is selected for review by the CERT contractor. You will have 45 calendar days to submit the requested information from the date of the original request for medical records. After 75 days from the initial request, the money will be recouped from the paid claim if documentation is not received by the CERT contractor.
