Frequently asked questions

How Remitz works, who can use it, how records are accessed, what AskREMI can do, and how patient data is protected.

Getting started

What is Remitz?

Remitz is a healthcare technology platform that helps physicians access, understand, and interact with patient medical records. Physicians can search for patients, retrieve available records through national healthcare networks, and use AskREMI to quickly explore and understand a patient’s medical history.

Who can use Remitz?

Remitz is intended for U.S.-licensed physicians and healthcare practices. Anyone can create an account and use AskREMI. Retrieving patient records with Monitor is available only to physicians who complete verification with their Type 1 NPI, a government-issued ID and facial verification.

How do I get access to patient record search?

After creating an account, physicians complete a brief identity and professional verification process using their Type 1 NPI, a government-issued ID, and facial verification. Network provisioning is typically completed within 7–10 days.

What happens during the 7–10 days before my network access is ready?

During this time, Remitz completes the network provisioning process so participating healthcare organizations can recognize your listing and respond to your patient record requests.

You don’t have to wait to start using Remitz. While your network access is being provisioned, you can upload and work with your own patient records and documents, connect supported applications and data sources, and use AskREMI with available healthcare knowledge.

Can my entire practice or organization use Remitz?

Yes. Remitz can support individual physicians as well as practices and healthcare organizations. Organizational environments can provide authorized team members with access to shared knowledge, workflows, integrations, and other organization-specific resources.

Patient records

How does Remitz find patient medical records?

Remitz connects to national healthcare networks to search for and retrieve available patient records from participating healthcare organizations. Record availability varies depending on where a patient has received care and what information those organizations make available.

What types of medical records can Remitz retrieve?

Remitz can retrieve available clinical records shared by healthcare organizations participating in national healthcare networks. The specific information available varies by patient, provider, organization, and source system.

How far back can Remitz retrieve a patient’s medical history?

The amount of historical information available varies by patient and by the organizations that have treated them. Remitz can search for available historical records, but the depth and completeness of a patient’s history depends on what participating organizations make available.

Will Remitz find every medical record for a patient?

Not necessarily. Record availability depends on where a patient has received care, whether those organizations participate in connected healthcare networks, and what information they make available electronically.

Can Remitz retrieve records from providers outside my organization?

Yes. Remitz is designed to help physicians access available patient information from healthcare organizations outside their own practice or health system through national healthcare networks.

Do I need to know where my patient was previously treated?

Not necessarily. Remitz can help search for available patient information across connected healthcare networks without requiring you to manually identify and contact every previous provider.

What if no records are found for a patient?

Record availability depends on where a patient has received care and whether those organizations participate in connected healthcare networks. Remitz uses proprietary search logic to look across known and potential sources for available patient records, but there may be cases where no records are returned.

You can still upload records or documents you already have and use AskREMI to work with that information.

How current are the patient records in Remitz?

Remitz retrieves available records with the goal of helping build a longitudinal view of the patient’s medical history. The recency of individual records depends on when participating healthcare organizations make that information available through connected networks.

Can I upload records or documents I already have?

Yes. You can upload external medical documents to Remitz and use AskREMI to interact with that information alongside other available patient records.

What types of files can I upload to Remitz?

Remitz supports PDF and CSV files, along with other commonly used document formats. Once uploaded, supported documents can be used within Remitz and, where applicable, with AskREMI and your workflows.

Does Remitz replace my EHR or EMR?

No. Remitz is designed to complement your existing systems by helping you access and understand patient information that may exist outside your own EHR or EMR.

AskREMI

What is AskREMI?

AskREMI is Remitz’s AI assistant for healthcare. It can work across patient medical records, trusted Remitz knowledge, organization-specific documents and policies, and connected systems to help healthcare professionals quickly find, understand, and act on the information they need. When working with source-based information, AskREMI can provide citations so users can trace answers back to the underlying source.

Learn more about AskREMI

What can I ask AskREMI?

AskREMI can help you work with information available through Remitz, including patient medical records, trusted Remitz knowledge, uploaded documents, organization-specific policies and procedures, and information available through connected systems. What AskREMI can access depends on the task, your permissions, and the information available within your Remitz environment.

Is AskREMI limited to information in a patient’s medical record?

No. AskREMI can work across multiple sources of information. In addition to patient records, Remitz maintains a knowledge base that can include peer-reviewed literature, industry-standard information, proprietary data, and specialized healthcare knowledge. Organizations can also make their own approved documents and knowledge available within their Remitz environment.

Where does AskREMI get its answers?

AskREMI can draw from the sources available and appropriate for a particular task, including patient records, Remitz knowledge resources, organization-specific knowledge, uploaded documents, proprietary information, and connected systems. Where applicable, Remitz provides citations or source references so users can verify the information behind an answer.

Can AskREMI summarize a patient’s medical history?

Yes. AskREMI can help organize and summarize information contained within the patient records available in Remitz, making lengthy or fragmented medical histories easier to review and understand.

Does AskREMI make clinical decisions for physicians?

No. AskREMI is designed to help healthcare professionals retrieve, organize, analyze, and work with information more efficiently. It supports—not replaces—the healthcare professional’s independent clinical judgment and responsibility for patient care.

Your organization’s knowledge

Can my organization create its own knowledge base in Remitz?

Yes. Organizations can create private knowledge resources using their own documents, policies, SOPs, reference materials, and other organization-specific information. This gives authorized team members a centralized way to find and interact with internal knowledge through Remitz.

Can AskREMI answer questions about our internal policies and SOPs?

Yes. Once approved organization-specific information is available within Remitz, authorized users can ask questions against that knowledge. For example, a team member could ask about a facility-specific prior authorization policy instead of manually searching through internal documents.

Can we use proprietary company information with Remitz?

Yes. Organizations can use their own proprietary documents, knowledge, data, and processes within their Remitz environment, subject to their configuration, access controls, and user permissions.

Workflows & integrations

What are Remitz workflows?

Remitz workflows allow users to orchestrate multi-step healthcare processes using AI, data, knowledge sources, connected applications, APIs, and other Remitz capabilities. Instead of using AI for a single question or task, workflows can bring multiple steps and systems together into a repeatable process.

Can I create my own workflows?

Yes. Users can create workflows tailored to their own clinical, administrative, operational, and financial processes. Workflows can combine Remitz capabilities with organization-specific knowledge, connected systems, data, and other tools to support the way your organization already works.

What can a Remitz workflow connect to?

Depending on the integration, Remitz workflows can use connectors, API connections, plugins, Remitz knowledge and data sources, and external systems connected to your Remitz environment. This allows information and capabilities from multiple systems to be incorporated into a single workflow.

Do I need to know how to code to create a workflow?

Not necessarily. Remitz is designed to make workflow orchestration accessible without requiring users to build traditional software integrations from scratch. The setup required will depend on the complexity of the workflow and any external systems being connected.

Can Remitz connect with software my organization already uses?

Yes, where supported. Remitz can use connectors, APIs, and plugins to work with external applications and data sources. Available capabilities depend on the external system, its available APIs or integration methods, and the type of access your organization has enabled.

Privacy & security

Is Remitz HIPAA compliant?

Remitz is designed to support HIPAA-compliant healthcare workflows and maintains administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect protected health information (PHI).

How we protect patient data

Can I search for records for any patient?

No. Patient record access must be connected to an authorized healthcare purpose and comply with applicable privacy requirements. Physicians may use Remitz to retrieve records when they have an appropriate treatment relationship with the patient.

Does Remitz store the patient records it retrieves, and for how long?

Remitz’s handling, storage, and retention of patient information is governed by the applicable Business Associate Agreement (BAA), Privacy Policy, and Terms of Use. These documents provide additional information about how data is handled and the terms that apply to your use of Remitz.

How we protect patient data

What's the difference between Individual and Team?

Individual is for one person with their own credits. Team puts your practice in one organization account, with multiple users, a shared credit pool, centralized billing and admin tools to manage who has access. You can set up a Team yourself in your account.

Do Team plans charge per user?

Team plans are based on the shared credits your practice uses, not on separate allowances for each person. You choose the credit capacity your practice needs and can change it as your usage grows.

Are some features only available on higher plans?

Most capabilities are included on every plan. Analyze and Recover are coming soon. They'll use your claims and remittance data and are planned for paid plans. Team adds tools for working together, and Enterprise adds advanced integrations and controls. Managed recovery services are available to Enterprise accounts on request.
