A medical peer review is a formal process in which care is reviewed to determine medical necessity. It can provide a means for an independent review organization (IRO) to review all of the documentation associated with the case to render an appeals decision of approved, denied, or partially denied in some circumstances. The physician advisor/peer reviewer reviews the case in detail, potentially looking at the clinical criteria used for the denial and best practice.
