ADRS Review Period Approaching 

The next ADRS review period is approaching. During the most recent review cycle, findings most commonly involved standard data fields such as coverage codes and address information. Preparing now can help reduce unnecessary follow-up and internal rework during the review process.

Action Steps to Take Now: 

  • Review recently submitted filings for coverage code consistency.

  • Confirm address information matches source documentation. 

  • Ensure required fields in EFS are completed accurately prior to submission. 

  • Revisit internal filing check procedures, if applicable. 

To further support accurate filings, our staff have compiled compliance best practices based on common producer challenges.
