Utilization Management

We want to make sure you get the right care and services. Our utilization management process is designed to make sure you get the treatment you need.

We will approve all covered benefits that are medically necessary. Our Utilization Management (UM) Department checks to see if the service needed is a covered benefit. If it is a covered benefit, the UM nurses will review it to see if the service requested meets medical necessity criteria. They do this by reviewing the medical notes and talking with your doctor.

Iowa Total Care does not reward practitioners, providers or employees who perform utilization reviews, including those of the delegated entities. Utilization Management’s decision making is based only on appropriateness of care, services and existence of coverage. Iowa Total Care does not specifically reward practitioners or other individuals for issuing denials of coverage. Financial incentives for UM decision makers do not encourage decisions that result in underutilization.

Iowa Total Care reviews services to ensure the care you receive is the best way to help improve your health condition.
