Dispute Resolution
Mediation
is a new option to resolve a quality of care complaint under Medicare.
It is a face-to-face conversation between the patient and the doctor
or hospital, facilitated by an impartial third person acting as
the mediator. It is an opportunity for both parties to relate,
respond and resolve concerns. Mediation is offered with no cost.
When
calling QSource to file a complaint, a review case manager
will give more details. For more information on how mediation
