Utilization Management

Utilization Management (UM) reviews the health care you get based on guidelines. We review care to make sure it is the best for your needs. You can ask how care is reviewed for procedures.

CareSource does not reward providers or our staff for denying services. We want you to get the care you need. We can arrange interpreter services in your preferred language. This is at no charge to you. We can also help with audio or explain topics more.
