Webinar overview:
DAVID Corporation and Smart-UR review recent trends in workers' compensation that show that controlling medical utilization has had a powerful impact on medical costs, and how utilization review, though an important and effective tool, is also very expensive and grossly inefficient. Using statistics from the NCCI and other sources, we discuss the financial waste in utilization review as it is practiced widely today, and how the Smart-UR's unique targeting technology resolves the waste issues in utilization review to produce an effective and efficient tool for medical cost containment.
There is now technology that does to UR what Fee Schedules did to Bill Review. Technology that eliminates the need for people to touch every task. Technology that handles the transactional decisions and workflow. Technology that optimizes the use of highly-paid professional staff so that they can focus on issues where real value for the investment can be produced.
The 1-hour webinar is presented compliments of DAVID Corporation and Smart-UR, and discusses the topics above as well as solutions designed to:
-Understand the financial waste currently in practice with most approaches to UR
-Provide automation to routine requests for approval, saving time and money
-Filter through types of requests and escalate based on type and severity
