CASE MANAGEMENT
MEDICAL CASE MANAGEMENT
With the cost of medical care skyrocketing, it is more important than ever to implement cost-containment strategies early in each case. Medical Case Management Services are an important element in claims management.
Registered nurses trained in a variety of disciplines provide on-site and telephonic coordination of medical services delivered to the claimant. By working directly with the medical providers, claimant, family and the claims professional, communication is maximized and unreasonable or inappropriate treatment is kept to a minimum.
VOCATIONAL CASE MANAGEMENT
We believe that vocational rehabilitation is a process with specific components that must be present to ensure positive case resolution These include clear and precise determination of work skills job targets and potential labor markets. Job seeking must be clearly directed to specific employers in target industries and followed by explicit documentation of all activities so that the role of all participants in the process can be measured and evaluated.
Our case managers are experienced with various disability compensation systems, including workers' compensation, long-term disability, liability and social security.
We maintain up-to-date statistical information on economic and employment conditions from various federal and state agencies which, when correlated with labor market survey, facilitates solid documentation and testimony performance when required.
