Addressing
the medical costs of a claim requires knowledge, experience and the ability to effectively communicate
and negotiate with healthcare providers.The goal of utilization management is to align reasonable and
necessary treatment with claim expenditure.
We offer a full spectrum of utilization management products to include:
- Pre-Certification, Concurrent and Retrospective Review
Procura case managers utilize valid clinical criteria to determine appropriate treatment, level of
service and duration of care. The program is physician supported to assure quality and accuracy of our
clinical recommendations.
The program offers pre-certification which is monitoring care for effectiveness during the delivery
phase and retrospective, or after treatment has concluded.
- Auditing Services
Select cases may require the detailed review of a provider bill to medical records. Procura offers
this service as an onsite option, traveling to and meeting with the provider office to review charges
to documented care. In addition, Procura offers the option of desk audit in which we will secure medical
records for a comprehensive review of itemized charges.
- Utilization Review
Utilization review is an integral component to the Procura medical management services, whether it be
field or telephonic services. We also offer utilization services as an unbundled program to meet the needs
of our client base. We provide the necessary clinical information to empower adjusters to make informed
decisions regarding the medical treatment and simultaneously, assure adherence to the state specific
regulations. Procura is certified as a Utilization Review Organization in the State of Pennsylvania and
holds additional state certifications to serve our clients.
- Peer Review
Procura offers this service by utilizing credential providers who possess the same specialty of the provider
under review. Comprehensive reports are secured for claim decision support. Procura is a certified Act 6
