External medical review (EMR) is a review process conducted by an independent, external medical review entity. It is initiated by a provider who disagrees with the decision of a managed care organization (MCO) and/or the OhioRISE (Resilience through Integrated Systems and Excellence) plan to deny, limit, reduce, suspend or terminate a covered service for lack of medical necessity.

If you would like more information on EMRs, the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) provides some helpful provider resources, including Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), a Prior Authorization Denial Grid and the EMR process flow. All can be found on the ODM website.
