| UTILIZATION REVIEW |
|
As you try to manage your hospital plan costs, wouldn't you like to have someone on your side ensuring that the proper care is provided at the most reasonable cost? Let us provide the checks and balances. Through national guidelines and medical expertise, we will help to ensure that your employees receive the proper medical utilization of services. We offer pre-certification, concurrent review, discharge planning, outpatient management, and mental health/substance abuse management. |
Once notified of hospital care, our nurses will continue to monitor the stay or outpatient care and ensure that the correct procedures are administered and alternative options are considered if appropriate. We perform second level review by our physician staff when clinical information does not match. Additionally, third level reviews are completed by third party specialist physicians for consultation and/or appeals. Our system will integrate utilization with other managed care offerings including our disease management and case management programs. |
