Payors are increasingly using utilization management programs to cut their costs, while still delivering high quality care. CorVel’s UR programs review proposed care to determine appropriateness, frequency, duration and care setting. Using our experienced staff of registered nurses, medical directors, and a large panel of board-certified physicians, unnecessary treatments and associated costs can be eliminated. Our program is enhanced by our expert systems technology and the use of nationally recognized medical treatment protocols.
