Acentra Health (formerly Kepro) is the Beneficiary and Family Centered Care Quality Improvement Organization (BFCC-QIO) for the 29 states highlighted in the map below. As a BFCC-QIO, Acentra Health helps people who are on Medicare - and their families and caregivers - to file quality of care complaints and hospital discharge and skilled service termination appeals. We also offer Immediate Advocacy services to quickly resolve medical concerns. For additional information: See the teal boxes under the US map.
On Wednesday August 21, we experienced a system outage that lasted for several hours, which affected our ability to intake and process appeals in our normal manner, as well as the accuracy of the information on our online case status tool. We’re pleased to inform you that the issue has been resolved, and our systems are fully operational. However, due to the outage, there may be delays in appeal notifications. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding. |
HURRICANES: Please contact Acentra Health toll-free at 1-888-317-0751 if you have questions or concerns related to BFCC-QIO services, as they may be impacted by an active hurricane. For people who have Medicare, Acentra Health has staff to help resolve concerns quickly through Immediate Advocacy.
