Medical and Vocational Case Management
The services that I provide are beneficial to insurance carriers, employers, and attorneys. Medical and vocational case management is an integral component of the rehabilitation process to return an injured worker to suitable, gainful employment.
Case Management includes a complete evaluation of the rehabilitation potential of the injured worker. I provide counseling for disability-related concerns, and when appropriate, I can provide access to the labor market and identify job placement opportunities through our job placement services. I can assist the injured worker to return to work with his same employer, while coordinating his medical treatment.
Vocational case management is an appropriate option when a physician releases an individual for return-to-work but rules out a return-to-work with the same job that they did pre-injury.
The benefits of utilizing case management are numerous:
Claim dollars for both medical and vocational payments
decrease
Relevant medical and vocational issues are consistently
addressed
Problems associated with return-to-work are identified
and solved in a timely fashion
A positive environment is created resulting in better
communication between the insurance company, the
claimant, and possibly an attorney
Document all case activity, medical issues, vocational goals, behavioral interactions, and financial aspects of the
situation
Provides input for decision-making based upon specific
recommendations
Encourages and supports the injured worker to seek and
obtain suitable work
Proves employment options and permanent job
opportunities are available
