Utilization Management

Care Management’s URAC accredited Utilization Management program provides medical necessity reviews of both inpatient hospital stays and some outpatient services to determine the medical appropriateness, requested-setting, level of care and quality of care of the stay or outpatient services. The team reviews the patient’s medical history and assesses the proposed care for appropriateness. Our detailed review and the use of nationally recognized criteria by MCG USA, promotes cost savings by evaluating the appropriateness, medical need and efficiency of healthcare services, procedures and facilities. Each review is also an opportunity to identify high-risk individuals who may benefit from case management.

Case Management

Care Management’s Case Management team identifies high risk individuals who would benefit from case management. Each individual is assigned a Case Manager who works with the individual until the case is resolved.

Allegiance Care Management’s program provides interventions that assess an individual’s long-term treatment to eliminate or mitigate acute episodes. Through early intervention and intensive case management Allegiance is able to effectively coordinate and manage your groups’ most medically challenging cases. The interventions utilize resources for creative approaches to appropriate, cost-effective care. Our trained professionals identify at-risk individuals who would benefit from case management or other supportive services.
