What it means
Concurrent review is a type of utilization review conducted by your insurer while you are actively receiving care, most often during a hospital stay. The insurer monitors the ongoing care to determine whether continued hospitalization or treatment is medically necessary and appropriate. Typically, the insurer reviews the case every one to two days and may authorize a set number of additional days. If the insurer decides continued care is no longer necessary, it may issue a non-coverage notice. Patients and providers can appeal this decision before discharge. Concurrent review helps control costs but can create tension between insurer criteria and the provider's clinical judgment.
