• Utilization Management

Utilization management (UM) or utilization review is the use of managed care techniques such as prior authorization or step-therapy protocols that allow payers, particularly health insurance companies, to manage the cost of health care benefits by assessing its appropriateness before it is provided using evidence-based criteria or guidelines. OSI regulates the utilization management practices of health insurers.
