Utilization Management is a money saving review process that ensures all treatment is medically necessary, appropriate and cost effective. Crawford's utilization management includes:
  • Utilization Review: Includes pre-admission certification, continued stay, discharge planning and outpatient review. We achieve significant savings by managing the length of hospital stays and identifying inappropriate treatment and hospitalization. In 1996 we produced an average ROI of $11.22 for every $1 spent by our group health clients.
  • Case Management Referral: We identify cases that most benefit from intervention and make referrals as necessary.
  • Patient Advocate Line: Trained health professionals provide medical information on any aspect of medical problems or proposed treatment programs, making employees better healthcare consumers.
