Tobacco Settlement Medical Records
Medchart Launches Dedicated Medical Records Service for Canada's Tobacco Settlement Fund
Anonymous
Marble has launched Medchart, a dedicated medical records service designed to speed up claims under Canada's $2.521 billion tobacco settlement Leader Post. The service eliminates the need for faxes and follow-up calls by automatically collecting diagnosis records that claimants need to prove eligibility.
The Pan-Canadian Claimants' Compensation Plan covers eligible tobacco-related illness victims outside Quebec. To qualify, claimants must have received a qualifying diagnosis between March 8, 2015, and March 8, 2019 Edmonton Sun. Getting these medical records has been the biggest bottleneck in the claims process.
How Medchart Removes the Medical Records Bottleneck
Medical records collection has slowed down tobacco settlement claims across Canada. Medchart automates this step by connecting directly with healthcare providers Leader Post. Instead of claimants faxing requests and waiting for callbacks, the platform retrieves records digitally and securely.
The company already processes more than 350,000 record requests yearly for over 800 organizations Toronto Sun. Marble's platform handles this volume by standardizing requests and reducing manual work for hospitals and clinics.
Partnership With Plan's Official Agent Speeds Eligibility Checks
Medchart is partnering directly with the official agent managing the PCC Compensation Plan Montreal Gazette. This partnership means claimants submit records once through Medchart, and the plan's agent reviews them immediately for eligibility decisions.
The integration cuts out middlemen and reduces processing delays. Claimants no longer chase down records or wait weeks for responses from multiple organizations Brantford Expositor.
A $2.521 Billion Fund Waiting for Faster Claims Processing
Canada's tobacco settlement created the largest compensation program for lung cancer and other smoking-related diseases The Sudbury Star. The $2.521 billion fund sits waiting for eligible claimants to complete their applications.
Medical documentation has been the main reason claims get delayed or denied Northern News. Medchart removes this friction by automating what used to require phone calls, faxes, and weeks of waiting.
