Utilization Management

Utilization Management (UM) helps us work with your doctors to give you the right care, at the right time, and in the right setting.

How Do I Request a Review?

To start the review process, call us at (800) 481-1092.

Preservice Review

A preservice review is when we review our coverage of medical care or services before you get that care. Care and services that require this approval are in your policy, or you can log in to Hally.

Urgent Concurrent Review

An urgent concurrent review is when we review our coverage of medical care or services while you're in the process of receiving that care, even if it was not approved before you started receiving the service.

Postservice Review

A postservice review is when we review our coverage of medical care or services that you've already received.
