For Outpatient:
There is no outpatient equivalent of QNet Quest at this time. The Florida QIO is serving as the CMS subcontractor for outpatient and they encourage you to submit your questions to: hopqdrp@FMQAI.COM. They strive for a 24-hour response cycle.

The following documents were provided by FMQAI. They contain a number of "Frequently Asked Questions".
