URAC Accreditation, Utilization Review, and the California Treating Physician

A free one-hour seminar that will open eyes and empower California’s workers compensation treating physicians!

Since 2016, URAC accreditation has been required of all utilization review organizations and end-to-end for the procedures they implement to approve, modify, delay, or deny a request for authorization submitted by California treating physicians. The DWC presumes compliance is 100%.

However, treating physicians throughout the state have a wide range of opinions about UR and virtually none have any idea what URAC accreditation means to them and their staff who must navigate the labyrinth of California UR.

This webinar will fill in that gap.

Treating physicians and staff will learn directly from URAC, what a URAC accredited UR program is required to do as it processes and responds to a “Request for Authorization.”

More importantly, they will also learn what questions to ask and what rights to claim when the process appears not to follow what the Labor Code requires, for example peer review.

Click on this link  to register  for the free, one hour webinar February 9, 2022 beginning at 12 noon, PST presented by URAC staff.

Submit your questions about URAC procedures, peer review and similar procedural situations. Webinar faculty cannot provide legal advice nor can they "settle" issues. They WILL equip us with practical knowledge and actions that can produce results.

If you treat injured workers in California, after this seminar you will be better equipped to successfully handle California's URAC Accredited URprocess and the individuals with whom you must interact to successfully treat your workers compensation patients.

Pass this notice along to your colleagues who treat injured workers whether they are PTPs or not. They'll be glad you did!
