KEPRO is the Beneficiary and Family Centered Care Quality Improvement Organization (BFCC-QIO) for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Areas 2, 3, and 4. KEPRO is responsible for discharge appeals and beneficiary complaints in all three of these areas. In order to process all of these reviews, KEPRO has an extensive Peer Reviewer roster. However, KEPRO is always looking for qualified reviewers in order to expand its Peer Reviewer roster for all three of its contract areas, which includes 33 states as well as the District of Columbia.

• Are offered challenging opportunities to use their medical knowledge to improve the quality of health care;
• Enjoy competitive compensation;
• Receive complete confidentiality;
• Have the convenience of reviewing a case at home or at the office; and
• Can join a pool of physicians who are leaders in their specialties.
