The National Association of Independent Review Organizations (NAIRO) is a trade organization of URAC-accredited independent review organizations (IROs) that seeks to educate consumers, medical professionals and policymakers about the independent medical review process. Using the expertise of hundreds of board-certified clinicians nationwide, its members use an evidence-based medical case review approach to resolve coverage disputes between enrollees and their health plans.
The need for uniform regulations from state to state and a uniform application process is what brought NAIRO members together. Their goal is to simplify the regulated IRO/ERO application process and review requirements among the states.
