Peer-to-peer review: what actually happens on the call

Access › Insurance & coverage prior authorisation appeals formulary

On the subject in the title: Peer-to-peer review: what actually happens on the call Working notes rather than a conclusion.

The question about peer-to-peer review that I actually want answered is the second one below. The first is context and I have kept it short.

Both are stated with units, and I have said what I already checked so that nobody repeats it.

I read the opening post twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

Escalating to an external review is available in some systems after internal appeals are exhausted, and the timelines are published.

Reimbursement changes: a compound covered one year might not be the next. A formulary decision in January can change by April. Checking again before refilling saves frustration.

That is a description of practice, not a recommendation of it.
