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.

“But for the national welfare, it is urgent to realize that the minorities do think, and think about something other than the race problem.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
“Whether changes in the sibling relationship during adolescence create long-term rifts that spill over into adulthood depends upon the ability of brothers and sisters to constantly redefine their connection. Siblings either learn to accept one another as independent individuals with their own sets of values and behaviors or cling to the shadow of the brother and sister they once knew.”
—Jane Mersky Leder (20th century)
“Our brains are no longer conditioned for reverence and awe. We cannot imagine a Second Coming that would not be cut down to size by the televised evening news, or a Last Judgment not subject to pages of holier-than-Thou second- guessing in The New York Review of Books.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
