External assessment Sample Clauses

External assessment. Because of the importance of producing analytical data fit for purpose, it is now increasingly necessary for a laboratory not only to produce such data, but also to demonstrate the accuracy and comparability of its data by some form of external assessment. Such a demonstration of a laboratory's competence is known as external quality assessment and there are two main ways by which a laboratory can do this, which are essentially complementary in nature. The first is by physical inspection of the laboratory to ensure that its quality system procedures comply with well-established, recognised standards - in other words third party assessment or accreditation. The second, known as proficiency testing, is by the assessment of its performance in interlaboratory comparisons using samples which have been distributed by the scheme's organiser. (Other names can be used to describe proficiency testing include quality assessment, external quality assessment or EQA and performance testing.)

  • How to Request an External Appeal If you remain dissatisfied with our medical appeal determination, you may request an external review by an outside review agency. In accordance with §27-18.9-8, your external appeal will be reviewed by one of the external independent review organizations (IRO) approved by the Office of the Health Insurance Commissioner. The IRO is selected using a rotational method. Your claim does not have to meet a minimum dollar threshold in order for you to be able to request an external appeal. To request an external appeal, submit a written request to us within four (4) months of your receipt of the medical appeal denial letter. We will forward your request to the outside review agency within five (5) business days, unless it is an urgent appeal, and then we will send it within two (2) business days. We may charge you a filing fee up to $25.00 per external appeal, not to exceed $75.00 per plan year. We will refund you if the denial is reversed and will waive the fee if it imposes an undue hardship for you. Upon receipt of the information, the outside review agency will notify you of its determination within ten (10) calendar days, unless it is an urgent appeal, and then you will be notified within seventy-two (72) hours. The determination by the outside review agency is binding on us. Filing an external appeal is voluntary. You may choose to participate in this level of appeal or you may file suit in an appropriate court of law (see Legal Action, below). Once a member or provider receives a decision at one of the several levels of appeals noted above, (reconsideration, appeal, external), the member or provider may not ask for an appeal at the same level again, unless additional information that could affect such decisions can be provided.
