Who reviews the UM treatment forms?
If a UM program is required, and treatment forms are requested, the guidelines will set a general framework for the office administrative personnel to follow. The initial review will be made by a member of the office staff who is trained to apply the guidelines. That person will have the authority to approve visits. If a request for visits is outside of his/her parameters, the form will be referred to a licensed chiropractor approved by the board of directors to do the review. The chiropractor will be paid a nominal flat rate per review to encourage objectivity in the review. He/She will never be paid based on saving.
