personnel need to be aware of these holiday days especially when issuing
hospital notices. Patients need to be made aware of these NHCQF
"nonwork" days which are important for patients in regards to their
rights for requesting QIO review of hospital-issued notices (especially
continued stay notices with immediate review rights). The
NHCQF office, including the Review Services Department, is closed on these
days for all purposes. Any information (responses to potential denials,
quality issues or submission of medical records) due at NHCQF on a NHCQF
observed holiday will be automatically considered due on the first working
day after the holiday; the hospital and/or physician need not request this
extension on individual cases. September
