Meeting with the claimant at the physician's office allows us to provide up to the minute information on how the case is progressing, the current plan of treatment, and allows for intervention in return to work issues. An update with appropriate documentation is provided following the appointment.
Catastrophic cases often have multiple treating physicians which can result in over utilization of narcotic pain medications and diagnostic testing. Separating the non-work related components of the injured worker's treatment from the injury involved treatment can be a big cost savings.
Some cases need a specific task accomplished to help bring it to closure. This may involve clarifying information on the plan of treatment with the medical provider, or the delivery of medical records and films to the treating physician. We can assist in locating medical records and films, and delivering them to the medical provider.
An update on the case can be obtained through telephonic case management. This service will provide a quick review of the plan of treatment and work status as provided by the physician or his staff.
We provide summaries on lengthy cases or those with multiple providers to help simplify and clarify the case.
We are available to review open cases and offer our expertise in ways to help move the case to closure.
