UM programs combine intake operations, nurse and physician reviewers, clinical criteria, and increasingly automation (auto-approval rules, documentation checks). Accreditation bodies such as NCQA and URAC set program standards, and regulation — from state UM statutes to CMS-0057-F — constrains timelines and transparency.
