SSA will check the authenticity of hospital discharge summaries

The Social Security Administration does not directly check the authenticity of hospital discharge summaries. This is because the SSA's primary responsibility is to administer the Social Security Fund, not to review medical records. However, when processing Medicare claims, the SSA needs to review information such as medical expenses, diagnoses, and treatment plans to ensure that the application complies with the relevant regulations and standards. In the event of non-compliance or problems, the SSA may request the hospital to provide more detailed medical records in order to review and process the claim application.
