Headquartered in New York City, MedReview serves a diverse mix of clients throughout the United States.

MedReview’s portfolio of services is highly scalable and can be configured to meet the specific needs and requirements of our clients. Our approach to payment integrity is unique within the industry because we take great care to ensure that all denials are reviewed by a board-certified physician in the appropriate specialty or sub-specialty.

MedReview’s clinical expertise is highly respected by providers and payors. As a result, payors can count on us to deliver more defensible denials with little to no provider abrasion.

About MedReview

With a reassignment rate of 40% or greater and an appeal overturn rate of less than 5%, we have delivered billions in savings to our clients.

MedReview is a wholly owned subsidiary of the New York County Health Services Review Organization (NYCHSRO), which was founded in 1974 under the Federal Law mandating Professional Standards Review Organizations (PSROs) for Medicare and Medicaid review. The company was formed in 1984 in reaction to a newly deployed CMS project to categorize inpatient hospital labor into Diagnosis Related Groups and to offer utilization management and analysis services to the private sector including health plans, labor unions, TPAs and managed care organizations.

In order to sustain our average annual growth of 40.5% for the last decade, we have invested tens of millions of dollars in automation to maintain our focus on quality. Our steadfast commitment to quality is further evidenced by the accreditation we have received from the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC).

MedReview is accredited by URAC® as an Independent Review Organization (IRO) and Health Utilization Management (HUM) organization. We are also certified by the HITRUST CSF® Assurance Program, which makes sure our most sensitive data is well protected.
