  • Decision UR
    "Utilization Review (UR) can be one of the most effective cost containment tools we have in Workers’ Compensation. Unfortunately, the cost of UR can outweigh the benefits. DecisionUR (DUR) can offer you the most sophisticated, managed and cost effective UR software solution currently available in the industry. DecisionUR (DUR) will automate the application of specific, proven medical protocols, based on ICD9 codes in a consistent and timely manner. DUR uses an automated review system that will decrease the cost and timeframe associated with approving the most common requests received. Although all requests are overseen by our Medical Director, DUR can automatically forward files to the URO of your choice for further peer review."
