Credits for Annual Preventive Exams
You no longer have to worry about manually entering your annual preventive exams to earn HQ credits! Credits will automatically be uploaded to your account after your SEHP medical insurance vendor has processed the claim. The SEHP medical vendor will send a file directly to Cerner (the HQ vendor) showing the credits earned and you will be notified by an email from Cerner when the credits are applied to your account.
