WHAT IS UTILIZATION REVIEW?Utilization Review (UR) is the process insurance companies use to review a request for medical treatment; to approve, authorize or decline services. Insurance companies do this in order to prevent unnecessary treatment, duplication of services, prevent fraud, abuse and waste of unneeded service dollars. The process begins with the collection of information, including the symptoms, diagnosis, lab results, medical and clinical criteria pertaining to the condition. HOW IMPORTANT IS UTILIZATION REVIEW TO MY COMPANY?Utilization Review is one of the most critical aspects of any behavioral health organization. It is the starting point of the billing process and crucial in obtaining payment. It is by far, one of the most overlooked and disregarded areas of the billing process. Improper and/or poorly managed UR will not only limit profitability but the client's length and access to treatment. HOW CAN UNLIMITED UTILIZATION MANAGEMENT HELP ME?
