Medical Peer Review Services

AMR provides benefits to both the clinical and administrative teams within a group healthcare organization. For clinical teams, AMR’s expertise and technology provide a consistent, evidence-based perspective of the quality of clinical care. In addition, our HITRUST CSF certified review platform technology streamlines the operation for all parties. With one of the largest physician review networks in the industry, we can specialty and state match physician reviewers for a range of quality of care reviews.

AMR supports UM teams at all levels, from pre-service assessment through third-level, final and binding review. Our panel of board-certified specialists can review for medical necessity and experimental/investigational status based on plan criteria, current medical literature or both. We frequently provide case rationales in varying reading levels to comply with state standards.

As a URAC-accredited IRO with a physician network covering a wealth of medical specialties and sub-specialties, AMR can meet your medical necessity review requirements in an interim capacity. Our physician consultants are equipped to serve you when you are short-staffed. 

Clients in various industries utilize AMR’s billing & coding experts, as well as physicians, to assess service codes for accuracy, medical necessity or fraud. AMR can facilitate reviews using a combination of medical and billing professionals, or strictly one or the other.

By furnishing an independent medical review service, third party administrators provide an important value added service. Their customers will not have to incur the cost of implementing a process that is not part of their core competency. At the same time, a third party administrator can utilize an IRO as part of a risk management strategy.

AMR’s nationwide physician panel covering all major boarded specialties, capability to customize workflows on a client-by-client basis, and industry defining stewardship are only a few of the reasons HCO’s turn to AMR for their clients' physician-level peer review needs.

Automating the independent review process brings greater efficiency to the entire claims practice. By partnering with AMR, case management companies can ensure claims management teams are using the same automated platform, allowing greater consistency throughout the life of the claim. This also allows for uniform reporting for identifying best practices and more efficient budgeting.

URAC-accredited as an Independent Review Organization (IRO) for internal and external reviews, AMR physician consultants attest to their impartiality in reviewing medical records for fraud, waste and abuse. Our national network is boarded and specialty-matched to ensure a complete and clinically appropriate assessment.
