A project developed by CMS called the Electronic Submission of Medical Documentation (esMD) provides an automated mechanism for managing the claims request and submission process through secure electronic communication between contractors and providers. The esMD program allows providers who either are or contract with Health Information Handlers (HIHs) to receive document requests and submit required medical records and associated documentation electronically during the claims review process. Discussion Letters, as well as Level 1 and Level 2 Appeals, can also be submitted electronically.
