How do BICMD’s expert medical opinion services compare to a Peer Review?

Peer reviews are phone calls or written reports from provider to provider to discuss the appropriateness and necessity of medical care. BICMD expert medical opinions do not always involve the treating provider. However, upon request, BICMD comprehensive (telehealth) consultations can be scheduled between the BICMD physician and the primary treating provider, which is very similar in nature to a Peer Review. The main advantage of a BICMD provider-to-provider review is the qualifications and training of the BICMD physician, who will always be a guaranteed expert in the area of specialty.
