b. Referred the case to a physician for review; and
c. Talked to or attempted to talk to the attending physician for further information.
3. A private review agent should share all clinical and demographic information on individual patients among its various divisions (e.g., certification, discharge planning, case management) to avoid duplicate requests for information from enrollee or providers.
