review process.
Why join Acentra Health for utilization review services?
Acentra Health is a nationally recognized Medicaid Utilization and Care Management organization currently serving 38 state Medicaid contracts, including California’s Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). We are designated as a Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) and are accredited by the Utilization Review Accreditation Committee (URAC) for Health Utilization Management, Case Management, Disease Management and as an Independent Review Organization.
By providing streamlined, timely and efficient authorization and utilization review services, we aim to support both California county Mental Health Plans (MHPs) and psychiatric inpatient facilities. Acentra Health will work alongside psychiatric inpatient facilities and MHPs to ensure discharge planning and appropriate stepdown services have been coordinated and are in place for a successful transition back into the community.
We are here to help!
