The purpose of Utilization Review at UTHCPC is prevention of over and/or under utilization of patient treatment services without compromising the quality of patient care.

The Utilization Review team at UTHCPC accomplishes this purpose through working with the multi-disciplinary treatment team to develop individualized treatment and discharge plans, providing third-party payers with current clinical data needed to advocate for needed inpatient and out-patient services, and expediting insurance appeals for the client to recover costs of required extended hospital stays.
