Accreditations

URAC

We are an SSAE 16-accredited organization, which is renewed on an annual basis. We are also certified by URAC (Utilization Review Accreditation Commission) a non-profit, independent agency for pharmacy benefit management and case management. 

URAC promotes quality healthcare and provides standards that healthcare organizations must meet in order to receive and maintain accreditation. URAC has a specific set of standards for workers’ compensation PBMs, which serves as an indicator of quality and compliance. ​We are proud to have received URAC accreditation across the entire enterprise; our next scheduled corporate accreditation review is set to occur in September 2022 for pharmacy benefit management, and will be valid for an additional three years after.
