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.

“Thinking is the most unhealthy thing in the world, and people die of it just as they die of any other disease. Fortunately, in England at any rate, thought is not catching. Our splendid physique as a people is entirely due to our national stupidity.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“A good marriage ... is a sweet association in life: full of constancy, trust, and an infinite number of useful and solid services and mutual obligations.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The ex-Presidential situation has its advantages, but with them are certain drawbacks. The correspondence is large. The meritorious demands on one are large. More independent out than in place, but still something of the bondage of the place that was willingly left. On the whole, however, I find many reasons to be content.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“You don’t want a general houseworker, do you? Or a traveling companion, quiet, refined, speaks fluent French entirely in the present tense? Or an assistant billiard-maker? Or a private librarian? Or a lady car-washer? Because if you do, I should appreciate your giving me a trial at the job. Any minute now, I am going to become one of the Great Unemployed. I am about to leave literature flat on its face. I don’t want to review books any more. It cuts in too much on my reading.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
