Utilization Review (UR)

Medical Utilization Review ensures that clinical decision-making, workflow execution, and downstream bill adjudication are fully connected

“I often remind my team that there is a person behind the paper, and we must think logically and critically utilizing our clinical experience and expertise to make sound medical decisions.” Christina Checchio, RN, Vice President Medical Utilization Review

The UR department is staffed by experienced coordinators, licensed nurses, certified case managers, and a long-tenured physician panel spanning all major specialties.

  • This depth of clinical experience enables Medlogix to deliver consistent, credible, and defensible utilization decisions across jurisdictions and claim types.
  • Medlogix Medical Utilization Review is grounded in the principle that medical necessity management must balance regulatory compliance, clinical integrity, and respect for the claimant. Reviews are conducted using nationally recognized, evidence-based standards of care while meeting all statutory requirements for treatment review and decision-making.
  • This approach ensures that appropriate care is supported while unnecessary or unsupported services are addressed early. Incoming Precertification and Utilization Review requests enter a centralized, prioritized queue, organized by urgency and regulatory due dates. Nurses and physicians process work in that same order through the MyMedlogix platform, ensuring compliance, predictability, and timely resolution.

What Do Our Utilization Review Services Include?

  • Pre-certification: Medlogix manages the entire pre-certification process, reviewing treatment plans to ensure medical necessity and appropriate care duration before services are rendered. 
  • Workflows are customizable by clients, allowing Medlogix to administer individual plan requirements while maintaining operational consistency.

  • All utilization review activity is managed through MyMedlogix’s Care Plan Manager, which serves as the centralized clinical record for each claim.

    The Care Plan Manager captures:
    • Nurse and physician determinations
    • Medical rationales and supporting documentation
    • Review outcomes tied directly to adjudication logic

    These determinations ensure that utilization decisions are enforced consistently through payment—without manual adjuster intervention.

  • MyMedlogix provides a clear, intuitive experience for all stakeholders involved in utilization review workflows. Adjusters, nurses, and physicians operate within the same environment, with real-time visibility into case status, decisions, and outcomes.

  • Clients and physicians consistently cite the ease of use and transparency of the platform, reinforcing confidence and adoption across organizations.
