What do you need from your workers' compensation medical specialist? Easy
access to quality care? Safe return to work? Prompt and clear communications?
Low cost? The list goes on. And OHS-COMPCARE meets every criterion.
Why are these concerns important? A few statistics will shed some light:
-
Employees’ back pain and headaches account for about 160 million lost
workdays in the U.S. alone, costing businesses approximately $55 billion
-
Diagnosing and treating employees’ chronic pain costs more than $60
billion each year
-
The average cost per case for lower back and disk injury is about $7,000
-
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders cost the U.S. more than $50 billion a
year
-
The greatest economic impact is caused by lower back pain, tendonitis,
nonspecific wrist problems and carpal tunnel syndrome
-
Effective disability management can cut employers’ annual workers’
compensation costs by 25% to 30%
-
In a study of more than 9,000 workers, utilization management cut the expected
costs of treating injuries by greater than $5 million
At OHS-COMPCARE, we manage the medical care with you and your claims
representatives to get your employee recovered and back to work as quickly and
at the lowest total cost possible. We follow a consistent process to achieve
consistent results.
Are you tired of dealing with practitioners who do not understand that
workers’ compensation is not the same as group health insurance? Although
the medical care employs the same science, the delivery system is completely
different. For example:
-
A cause-and-effect relationship between the workplace and the reported
mechanism of injury must be established
-
Recommendations regarding work status require objectivity and an understanding
of the essential functions of the job
OHS-COMPCARE’s case management is designed to integrate with the employer
and the claims representatives so all the parties, especially the patient,
achieve the right outcome.
OHS-COMPCARE delivers:
-
Quality care directed towards returning your employee safely back to work
-

-
Responsive, same-day communications from the physician
-

-
