Health IT Partners
Health IT provides benefits to more than just health care providers and hospital systems. Attorneys and representatives who assist disability claimants can encourage medical providers to submit their clients’ evidence directly to us via Health IT. Disability applicants can ask their medical providers if they participate in Health IT exchange with Social Security. We encourage you to help spread the word.
