After Hours Injury Care
Statistics show that cases that are aggressively managed from
the day of the injury resolve faster and cost less and are less
likely to involve litigation. Let the OHS-COMPCARE on-call physician
help you manage those injuries from the start. For after hours emergencies,
contact the clinical facility and ask for the physician on call
to be paged.
