Qsource Earns URAC Independent Review Organization Accreditation

Qsource has earned Independent Review Organization Accreditation from URAC, marking an important milestone in the organization’s continued commitment to objective, evidence-based medical review and healthcare quality.

URAC’s Independent Review Organization Accreditation is designed for organizations that provide third-party medical review and medical determinations. The accreditation validates processes that support fair and impartial peer review, including reviewer qualifications, conflict of interest protections, medical necessity determinations, and appropriate timeframes for standard and expedited reviews.

For Qsource, earning this accreditation provides independent validation of the systems, safeguards, and clinical expertise supporting its independent review services.

“Achieving URAC Independent Review Organization Accreditation is an important recognition of the quality and integrity behind our review processes,” said Mary-Lyn Baldauf, CEO of Qsource. “Our clients and partners rely on us for objective, well-supported decisions, and this accreditation reinforces our commitment to providing review services grounded in independence, clinical expertise, and accountability.”

Independent review plays an important role in healthcare decision making. URAC-accredited IROs undergo an assessment of their clinical and operational approaches, including the qualifications of peer reviewers, protections against organizational and reviewer conflicts of interest, medical necessity review, and processes supporting accurate and objective decisions.

Qsource brings more than 50 years of healthcare quality improvement experience to its work with healthcare organizations, government agencies, health plans, and other partners. The new URAC accreditation strengthens Qsource’s ability to support organizations that require trusted, independent medical review and adds another externally validated credential to its portfolio of quality and compliance capabilities.
