Utilization Review Software

Our utilization review solution—also known in some states as prior authorization or preauthorization—is purpose-built for workers’ compensation and managed care. It streamlines decision-making, improves compliance, and accelerates turnaround times. By automating routine tasks and reducing administrative burden, it helps review teams deliver faster, more consistent, and guideline-based determinations.

Driving Compliance and Efficiency

Meeting jurisdictional deadlines and regulatory requirements is critical in utilization review. Our software integrates state and national guidelines directly into workflows, supports client-specific rules, automates tracking of due dates, and generates audit-ready reports—helping organizations stay compliant without added manual effort.

With real-time dashboards, automated alerts, and standardized correspondence, utilization review teams can handle higher volumes of requests with greater accuracy and consistency.

Seamlessly connected with case management, medical claims management, and AI-powered document handling, our UR solution is part of DataCare’s integrated platform for end-to-end medical management.
