  • Verify and document the name and department of the personnel performing utilization review by telephone.
  • Forward all verbal or written complaints concerning utilization review to the Supervisor for disposition. Disposition may be a written or a verbal contact to attempt to resolve the complaint issue. Documentation of written/verbal contacts should be maintained in the case record and employee file if appropriate.
