Dedicated care managers and administrative staff in our Workers' Compensation Center provide logistical and documentation support for an employer's injured and ill workers. Working closely with Occupational Medicine and, as needed, other specialty care providers, our care managers facilitate optimal care for patients and speed resolution of workers' compensation claims.
Our goal is to maintain or restore a worker's function so that he or she can safely stay at work, or can return in a regular or modified position, in a timely fashion.
The Workers' Compensation Center also works with insurers and outside case managers to:
- Keep them updated on a patient's status
- Ensure that the care being provided is appropriate
- Coordinate services, documentation and communication among the employee and their providers, insurer and employer
