CareReview Expands Independent Clinical Review Solutions Across the Healthcare Marketplace

ARLINGTON, Texas — September 22, 2026 — CareReview, Inc., a privately held, founder-led independent review organization (IRO) providing clinical review solutions nationwide, is expanding its reach across the healthcare marketplace, bringing its clinical expertise, technology and service model to a broader range of organizations navigating increasingly complex clinical, regulatory and operational demands.

Founded in 2011, CareReview has built its reputation on independent, evidence-based clinical review, with a longstanding presence in workers' compensation and disability. Still led by its founder, CareReview has grown while maintaining clinical standards, responsiveness, and accountability with which the company was built. Today, the company supports health plans, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), third-party administrators (TPAs), self-funded employers, government programs, workers' compensation organizations and long-term disability carriers with clinical review solutions designed around the distinct requirements of each market.

"Healthcare organizations are being asked to manage greater clinical complexity, evolving regulatory requirements and increasing operational demands while continuing to deliver timely, consistent decisions," said Ross Crutchfield, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CareReview. "Our role is to provide the independent clinical expertise and responsive support they need to make well-reasoned decisions with confidence. While the organizations we serve may have very different needs, our commitment to clinical integrity and quality does not change."

Across its lines of business, CareReview provides access to licensed and credentialed clinical specialists through a nationwide network, supported by Stradix®, the company's proprietary cloud-based technology platform designed to provide secure, flexible and efficient clinical review workflows.

CareReview's clinical review solutions include:

Group Health and Pharmacy

Workers' Compensation

Commercial Disability and Life

CareReview holds URAC Independent Review Organization accreditation and HITRUST r2 Certification, reinforcing the company's commitment to clinical quality, information security and rigorous review standards. The company continues to expand its accreditation program, with additional URAC and NCQA accreditation programs currently underway.

"Organizations should not have to fit their clinical review needs into a one-size-fits-all model," said Adam Schilling, Chief Growth Officer of CareReview. "Whether we are supporting a health plan, PBM, TPA, self-funded organization or one of our longstanding workers' compensation and disability partners, we start by understanding what that organization needs and build around it. What remains constant is the standard behind the determination—specialty expertise, independence, responsiveness and clinical integrity."

The expansion is also the focus of CareReview's new Did You Know? educational series, which will provide healthcare organizations with concise insights into independent clinical review, regulatory and operational considerations, and the approaches and standards that contribute to effective clinical review.

The first installment, Who We Serve, highlights the breadth of organizations CareReview supports and a core principle behind the company's approach: Your organization isn't one-size-fits-all. Your independent review shouldn't be either.
