Don’t IROs just add to the cost of our healthcare system?
While it does cost something to use IROs, the cost is minimal. IROs actually reduce the overall cost of health care because they look at every case objectively, based on the most current medical evidence, they suggest alternative − often less expensive − treatments, and weed out unnecessary or even fraudulent procedures. One IRO found that for every $1 spent with an IRO on a case, customers saved $16 overall.
